The part every relocation agent leaves out

Getting on a plane does not end your UK tax life.

Whether you are non-resident is decided by a day-count and ties test, the year you leave can be split only if you fit one of a few narrow cases, and gains, close-company dividends and inheritance tax can all reach you for years after you go. This guide sets out the rules that follow a UK founder or investor abroad, what they…

01

The Statutory Residence Test: are you actually non-resident?

UK residence is decided each tax year (6 April to 5 April) by the Statutory Residence Test (SRT). It is mechanical, and it is applied in a fixed order: first the automatic overseas tests, then the automatic UK tests, then the sufficient ties test. The first…

02

Temporary non-residence: the five-year rule

The UK does not tax a non-resident on most gains, which makes the obvious plan: leave, sell the company, come back. Temporary non-residence (TNR) is the rule that stops it. If you were solely UK resident in at least 4 of the 7 tax years before the year you…

03

Inheritance tax: the tail that follows you

Since 6 April 2025 inheritance tax no longer turns on domicile. It turns on long-term residence. If you have been UK resident in at least 10 of the last 20 tax years, you are a long-term resident and your worldwide estate is within UK IHT, at 40% above the…

Members get the thresholds, the cases and their own dates

Why members move with confidence

More of what you built. With certainty. In minutes. Without the legwork.

The outcome

Keep more, lawfully.

The destinations that fit your income, whether dividends, gains, salary or a company sale, ranked for your situation, each with its reasons.

The certainty

Know it holds before you go.

Every figure carries its source and the date it was checked. You watch the research happen, and anything unverified is flagged, never smoothed over.

The speed

A dated plan in minutes.

Thirteen questions give you your Move Plan. A sourced answer takes about a minute; a deep research brief, a few.

The effort

We read the manuals. You decide.

No HMRC manuals, no spreadsheet of UK days, no chasing four advisers for one answer. Reminders come before each deadline.

Nothing asked of faith

Watch the research happen.

Ask Latitax anything and you see its work: every profile it opens, every official source behind it, how many figures are verified, before a single word of the answer is written.

  • Only the Latitax research database, never the open web and never memory
  • Tailored to your saved situation, your Move Plan and your saved comparisons
  • A link to every official source under each answer
  • Deep research: a written brief with options compared, risks and next steps

  7. Writing the answer

A real trail: these lookups ran against the Latitax database for this question. Source links are for members.

What membership gives you

Every question you have, answered in the order you need it.

Which country actually works for me?

Your personal shortlist and the map in Fit-for-me mode: the right destinations for your income and family, each with its reasons.

Instead of a week of articles written for someone else.

What will the UK still take after I go?

Your Move Plan: your split-year case, the date the five-year rule ends, the date your inheritance tax tail ends, every step on a calendar.

Instead of finding out from a tax bill.

How many days can I spend in the UK?

The residence day tracker, counted the way HMRC counts: midnights, and tax years from 6 April.

Instead of a spreadsheet and a guess.

Advisers bill by the hour, and I don't know what to ask.

Latitax AI with its research trail, and deep research briefs you can take to them, so the hour you pay for is spent deciding.

Instead of paying to be told the basics.

What if the rules change?

Alerts when an official source for a country you follow changes, and a plan rebuilt from the current rules.

Instead of hearing it too late.

My company, my trust, my family.

Structures explained, with the substance they need and the UK angle; company residence after you leave; comparisons you can save.

Instead of four advisers and no single picture.

Questions

Before you join

Is this legal?+

Yes. Latitax covers only lawful residence, the regimes tax authorities recognise and established structures. It never helps anyone conceal income or assets, fake residence or avoid reporting, and it says so plainly when asked.

Is this tax advice?+

No, and that is deliberate. Latitax is research: sourced, dated and applied to your situation, so you arrive at a qualified adviser knowing what to ask and what it should cost. It tells you where to confirm before acting.

How is this different from asking a general AI?+

A general AI answers from memory, which is out of date and cannot say where a figure came from. Latitax answers only from its own research database, shows you each lookup as it happens, cites the source and check date for every figure, and says when something is not covered rather than guessing.

What if I am not sure I will move?+

Start monthly and cancel whenever you like, or take the free exit check first. Move Year suits people who have decided: twelve months, paid once, for the year of the move.

Is my information private?+

Your situation, questions, answers, plan and reports are encrypted at rest. We never sell data. Analytics never run on your account pages, and you can download or delete everything yourself.

Which countries do you cover?+

39 destinations in depth, chosen because they genuinely solve the problems of a UK founder or investor, and headline figures for 209 countries in all. Questions we cannot answer yet are researched by the team.

Your move deserves a plan, not a guess.

The right country, the right order, and the date each UK claim on you ends. From $124.17 a month, billed yearly.

Research, not advice. Confirm any decision with a qualified professional in each country concerned.
