TIMELINE FOR VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE
Here’s an approximate timeline for the voluntary disclosure process:
We’ll help you collect necessary documents like rental statements, foreign income records, or bank statements.
Timeframe: 2 week
The tax payment, interest and penalties should be settled at the date of the submission.
Timeframe: Immediately after submission

Timeframe: 1 week

After submission, HMRC may take several weeks to process your disclosure and may contact you for additional information.
Timeframe: 4-12 weeks
The SRT looks at the number of days you spend in the UK, as well as ties such as family, property, and work. Providing that you achieve a non-resident status, HMRCs right to tax your income will be limited to UK sourced income only and thus, it is critical that you understand the steps you need to take to achieve a non-resident status if you wish to mininise UK tax exposure whilst overseas.
If you continue to receive income from the UK (rental, pensions, dividends), you may still have UK tax obligations. Each type of income is treated differently for non-residents, so it’s essential to get tailored advice.
The UK has tax treaties with many countries to prevent you from being taxed twice on the same income. Applying these treaties can reduce your overall tax burden and avoid complications in your new country.
The temporary non-resident rules can bring incomes and gains that are tax free in real time due to your non-resident status, back within the scope of UK taxation broadly if you return to the UK within five years. It is critical you take steps to avoid being caught by these rules upon repatriation to the UK.
To notify HMRC of your departure, you can complete Form P85 or SA109 pages on your self assessment tax return. This will trigger refunds or NT (No Tax) coding for employees.
PENALTIES AND APPEALS
Penalties for Non-Disclosure
If income is not disclosed to HMRC, you could face significant penalties. However, voluntary disclosure significantly reduces penalties.
Appeals Process
If you believe HMRC’s decision regarding penalties or tax owed is unfair, you have the right to appeal. Our team can assist with submitting appeals and negotiating reduced penalties or taxes.
