What is the TRF?

The temporary repatriation facility (TRF) is an optional regime which aims to incentivise former remittance basis users to pay tax on unremitted foreign income and gains (FIG) which arose prior to 6 April 2025 by applying a lower flat rate of tax on these amounts.

The TRF lasts for three tax years from 6 April 2025 until 5 April 2028. The tax rates for FIG which is designated under the facility are 12% in tax years 2025–26 and 2026–27, and 15% in tax year 2027–28.

Who can use the TRF?

Any individual who was taxed on the remittance
