How Meades Contractors helps:
- Clarifies exactly what records you must keep
- Sets up simple digital or paper systems
- Checks figures before submission

Think your foreign income is outside UK tax? If you live here, that’s often wrong.

UK residents normally pay UK tax on overseas wages, rent, pensions and investments. Non-residents usually only pay UK tax on UK income. Since 6 April 2025, Foreign Income and Gains relief can apply instead of the old non-dom rules.

Ignore this and you risk unexpected tax bills, penalties, or missed relief.

Meades Contractors can:
- check your residence status
- review foreign income and gains
- explain relief and double tax rules
- handle your Self Assessment

Get in touch to clarify your position.
