UK Self-Assessment Tax Return

Back to Expat Resources

The UK equivalent to the IRS is the Her Majesty Revenue & Customs (HMRC) office.  The HMRC is the principal revenue collection agency of the United Kingdom government. They collect taxes, administer some of the regulatory systems like the national minimum wage, and are responsible for payment of some state support/welfare.

Preparation of your HMRC Self-Assessment Tax Return may be a requirement if you’re an American living in the UK. Because we have so many clients who are Americans living in the UK that also need their UK taxes prepared, we have partnered with a UK Chartered Accountant who can work alongside your US Accountant. Benefits include:

  • Gain access to UK expertise: Work directly with a UK Chartered Accountant who has special expertise filing UK taxes for American expats.
  • Save Time: Benefit from collaborative work between your US accountant at Greenback and your UK accountant, saving you time in sharing information and tax documents.
  • Save Money: Enjoy maximum tax savings as a result of this combined expertise and joint approach.

Cost:

£550 + VAT for a UK tax return

£175 + VAT – 30 minute telephone consultation

£125 + VAT – 30 minute email consultation
