Claiming Reliefs for Expatriates:
We specialise in claiming tax reliefs available for expatriates including the following:
- Temporary Workplace Relief/Detached Duty Relief (DDR)
- Overseas Workdays Relief (OWR):
Detached Duty Relief (DDR)
Under the UK tax rules, you are entitled to claim DDR (detached duty relief) if you meet the following two conditions:
- that you were seconded to the UK on a work assignment; and
- that your contract is for 2 years or less
Overseas Workdays Relief (OWR)
Non-UK Domiciled assignees are entitled to claim tax relief for your days worked outside the UK for the first three tax years.
The benefit of this status is that if you arrange to receive your salary directly into a nominated offshore bank account, in a location such as Jersey, Guernsey or IOM, then, you can claim back the PAYE (Pay As You Earn) taxes paid in relation to your non UK duties.
This is the most common method by which most expats in the UK generate tax refunds.
