In particular, moving from the United States to the United Kingdom can have strong tax implications for you.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it is not recommended to shelve tax issues for this reason. It is essential that you have the necessary information to protect yourself against the financial implications.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here is what you need to know about this:<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Double taxation means that you will be taxed in two countries on the same income. But fear not because bilateral treaties aim to mitigate this.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if US citizens live in another country, the US government doesn&#8217;t care. Remember that you always have to pay taxes on your worldwide income.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To reduce tax liabilities, you can claim tax credits and exemptions available in both countries. For example, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) in the US and the Personal Exemption 91��Ƶ����APP.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The tax residency status 91��Ƶ����APP, which affects the tax treatment of income, needs to be determined. You can determine domicile status by performing the UK&#8217;s Statutory Residence Test (SRT).<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider the tax implications of the sale of assets such as property or investments in the US and UK.<\/span><\/p><p><b>Important note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Analyse the tax treaties between the UK and the US to find out what reliefs are currently available to you.
