UK Tax Adviser for Singapore
A Chartered Tax Adviser for Singapore, in either direction
UK tax returns, residency advice and planning for people moving to Singapore, living there with UK income, or moving to the UK, on fixed fees agreed upfront.
The Short Answer
Horizon UK Tax Solutions is a Chartered Tax Adviser (CTA) practice handling the UK tax side of a move to Singapore, a life in Singapore with UK income, or a move from Singapore to the UK. Three questions decide most cases in this corridor. Whether you are UK resident at all, which the Statutory Residence Test settles, not your visa or where you sleep most nights. What the UK keeps taxing once you are non-resident, chiefly UK rental profits, UK property gains and most UK pensions. And the five-year temporary non-residence rule, which can claw back certain gains and pension lump sums if you return too soon and were UK resident in at least four of the seven tax years before the year you left.
A UK residential property sale must be reported, and any tax paid, within 60 days of completion. Under the Non-Resident Landlord Scheme, your letting agent (or your tenant, if rent is paid directly and is above the threshold) deducts basic-rate tax unless you apply on form NRL1 to be paid gross. Singapore has no general capital gains tax, which local advice should confirm, and that makes the five-year rule a live planning point: a gain on shares or other assets held before you left, realised while non-resident, may be taxed nowhere until a return within five years trips the UK charge. We map that window before you sell, and file the SA109 pages HMRC's free online service cannot handle.
Everything is handled remotely, with year-round support and direct access to the adviser, whatever the time difference. Fees are fixed and agreed in writing before any work starts: non-resident and expat tax returns are £550 fixed, personal returns from £350, complex returns from £750, and advisory work quoted as a fixed fee upfront, never hourly. You work directly with the founder of this CTA practice, with over 10 years of experience including 7 at a Big Four firm.
