Leaving the UK

December 16, 2010

If you are planning to emigrate, allow lots of time to organise the move. The most tax efficient time to leave the UK is generally just around the end of March, but this will depend on your individual circumstances, and your final destination.
When you leave the UK you need to complete form P85 and submit it to your tax office, to inform HMRC of your departure date and other relevant details.
