Any tax experts on here? Working overseas
Discussion
Hello!
I'm after some advice, I returned to the UK in May of this year having worked overseas for 2.5 years, I paid British Antarctic Territory tax for that period of time, 7%. Since May I have lived in the UK but not worked or earned any money in the UK or overseas. In October I left again to start a new job in Sudan, where I am a self employed contractor paid by an agency based in Jersey. I am paid USD into my UK bank account.
My question is, how long do I need to be working in Sudan in order not to pay tax on my earnings? Do I have to be out of the country from April to April or is it a year from when I left, i.e. October to October? Can I have any time in the UK during this period or do I have to stay out of the country for the whole time?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
