Sweden Voted Top Destination for Women Expats

However, money is not the only consideration for expats. Switzerland may have topped the expat income charts, but ‘economics’, ‘experience’ and ‘family life’ were factored into the equation it was placed behind Singapore, New Zealand, Germany, Canada, Australia, Bahrain and Sweden.

Sweden’s appearance on the list is no surprise. For expats in Sweden, wealth management options are just one of the country’s many draws; it is also one of the leading places in the world for gender equality and came in at first place in terms of the opportunities for family life.

The study revealed that, globally, women still face more professional and wealth management challenges than men. Although becoming an expat increases a woman’s income by nearly 30 per cent, the income of expat women was still lower than their male counterparts by around USD42,000. However, in Sweden, this expat wealth management gender disparity was not so marked.

Expat financial advisors in Grand Cayman

A move from the UK to the Cayman Islands is, by very definition, a bold one. However, for the majority of expats who undertake such a life change, it is not one that they will regret. This is because, if you get your financial advice and wealth management in order, chances are that you will be able to enjoy all the benefits that go with living in one of the world’s true natural paradises.

Dealing with HMRC

Before any would-be Cayman Island resident leaves the UK, he or she should fill out HMRC’s form P85. This ensures that you have the opportunity to get your tax and residency status right and is particularly important if you will continue to have UK tax to pay – for example, if you have a UK-based business, a rental income, or are the director of a company.

Considerations include being listed as a non-resident landlord so that rent can be paid without UK income tax, splitting the tax year into resident and non-resident periods, and addressing the issues around capital gains tax.

Tax and the Big Decision – Buying a Property in Spain

Puerto BanusAs I sit in my back garden, in “good ol’ Blighty”, I often watch the planes flying overhead. My house is on several major flight paths which cross the country and the Manchester to Marbella flights are a regular feature in the blue skies of June.

As the summer holidays kick in, I wonder how many passengers on these flights will fall so in love with their destination that they take a sneaky look at property for sale, and how many will dream of retirement in Spain or even make it a firm plan?
