| Situation | Usual UK treatment |
|---|---|
| UK resident, overseas income | Taxable in the UK; report on the foreign pages of your return |
| Tax already paid abroad | Foreign tax credit relief usually reduces the UK tax |
| New arrival after 10 years non-resident | May claim the 4-year FIG regime from April 2025 |
| Non-UK resident | Generally taxed only on UK income |
| Income missed in past years | Put right through the Worldwide Disclosure Facility |
If you are UK resident, you are usually taxed on your worldwide income and gains, even if the money stays abroad. Report it on the foreign pages of your Self Assessment return. Read our plain-English guide: do I need to declare foreign income in the UK?
If tax was paid abroad, you can usually claim foreign tax credit relief. This reduces your UK tax by the foreign tax paid, up to the UK tax on that income. Double taxation agreements decide which country has the first right to tax.
From 6 April 2025, the remittance basis was replaced. If you become UK resident after 10 consecutive years of non-residence, you can claim relief on foreign income and gains for your first four years. The claim is made on your tax return and is not automatic.
HMRC receives overseas account data from more than 100 countries. If foreign income was missed, the Worldwide Disclosure Facility lets you put it right with lower penalties than waiting for HMRC to contact you.
