Leaving the UK: UK tax guides
Leaving the UK (GOV.UK) does not automatically end your UK tax obligations, and getting the timing and paperwork right in the 2026/27 tax year can be the difference between a clean break with a refund and an unexpected bill years later. The 2 guides in this section cover Leaving the UK and P85, NT Tax Code and Your Leaving-Year UK Refund. Each guide is written and kept current by Jordan Onraet-Wells, a Chartered Tax Adviser.
