About Expat UK Tax
An independent UK tax consultancy founded in 2024, headquartered in Hong Kong. We specialise exclusively in UK tax for internationally mobile individuals.
Tax Excellence Redefined
Understanding and applying UK tax rules can be complex, particularly where an individual's life, income, and assets span multiple jurisdictions. For British expatriates and UK-connected individuals, errors often arise not from avoidance, but from misunderstanding how UK tax applies outside the UK.
Expat UK Tax was founded in January 2024, with headquarters in Hong Kong. We specialise exclusively in UK tax matters for individuals living and working internationally, supporting clients across Asia, the Middle East and other global jurisdictions.
Our work focuses on providing clear, technically robust advice to clients with international affairs, helping them understand their UK tax position and make informed decisions with confidence.
How We Differ
We close the gap that traditional advisers leave open.
Many UK-connected individuals living overseas struggle to access accurate and timely UK tax advice. Traditional advisers are often UK-based, distant from their clients, and unfamiliar with the practical realities of international life. By delivering technically robust UK tax advice from within your region and time zone, we offer clearer communication, faster responses, and solutions grounded in real-world international circumstances.
Individuals based in Asia, the Middle East, and worldwide
Individuals returning to the UK after periods overseas
International families with UK property, investments, or trusts
Clients with complex UK tax issues beyond standard accounting services
Individuals seeking clarity on residence, domicile, and cross-border obligations

How We Work
Our process is structured, transparent and tailored to your situation.
Initial Consultation
We review your personal position, residency status, income sources, assets, family circumstances and future plans. We explain the UK tax rules that apply to you and identify key issues and opportunities.
Onboarding & Engagement
We gather all relevant information to understand your affairs fully. We issue a formal engagement letter setting out the scope of work, responsibilities, timelines and fees, so you have complete clarity before work begins.
Advisory & Compliance Work
We provide technically sound, practical advice you can implement. All planning is designed to be correctly reflected in tax returns and supported if reviewed by HMRC. Compliance work is prepared carefully to ensure accuracy and completeness.
Ongoing Support
We build long-term client relationships. As your circumstances change, tax rules update or new rates apply, we provide ongoing guidance to keep you compliant and informed.
