Expat Financial Advice a Must When Returning to UK

Unfortunately, HMRC has so far failed to provide any useful clarity on the issue, saying only that, “The Prime Minister has announced that foreign buyers looking to buy homes in the UK will face a higher stamp duty rate. We will consult on the details in due course.”

Returning expats should be prepared and seek reliable international financial advice to guide them through the process of reintegrating to the UK. If a British citizen is planning to return to the UK, expat financial advisers can help them with strategies to reaffirm their ties to the UK in plenty of time so that they can avoid any unnecessary costs, taxes or indeed surcharges.

Former Chancellor’s comments on French residency spark expat indignation

As an expat financial services specialist, Blacktower is always keen to hear about Britons who are making the decision to live permanently abroad, but one recent news story has left us, like many others, feeling a little perplexed, to say the least.

Permanent expats in France will soon be able to count leading Brexiteer Nigel Lawson amongst their number as the former UK chancellor of the exchequer has applied for his carte de séjour (permanent residency card).

The former Conservative cabinet member and one-time chair of the “Vote Leave” campaign has been branded a hypocrite by many in the British media, as he seeks full resident’s rights while he lives, as he has done so for many years, in his Gascony mansion in south-west France.
