STOP PRESS: At Spring Budget 2024, the Chancellor announced that the remittance basis would be abolished from 6 April 2025, although this only applies to foreign income and gains arising on or after that date. The remittance basis rules still apply to unremitted income and gains arising before that date but remitted later. For more details, see the Abolition of the remittance basis from 2025/26 guidance note.

Introduction

UK resident individuals who are non-UK domiciled under general law can benefit from the remittance basis of taxation which allows for relief from UK tax for non-UK sources of income which are not brought in (or remitted) to the UK in any way.

One way in which the remittance basis can be utilised for employees is through the use of dual contracts. This guidance note provides an overview of the operation of such contractual situations, the difficulties that can be encountered if they are used and the anti-avoidance legislation which took effect from 6 April 2014.
