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.

LibraryEducation and school fees planning is a major concern for any person looking to provide the best opportunities in life for their children or grandchildren. It’s a serious enough burden whoever and wherever you are in the world, but if you are one of the several million British expats living abroad, the issue can seem particularly daunting.

Especial empathy should be reserved for those families who have chosen, whether it is for work, lifestyle, health or other concerns, to move abroad and to send their children to private boarding schools back in the UK.
