IFA for a soon to be ex-pat

[Sideways Rich]

I start a new job in the new year which means re-locating to Singapore.

Does anyone have any recommended IFA's with experience of advising Brits re-locating to Singapore?

Thanks

become an official non resident and reap the rewards...

then spend it on the 10 quid pints in singa...

great place btw, got some mates working out there

Thanks that is not far off the plan, does anyone know how CGT works on UK shares when you're official non-resident ?

i have a small bunch of shares bought whilst in the UK as a tax payer here, haven't taken any gains yet that would take me over the £10,600 CGT allowance.

No worried, also as mentioned above, make sure you keep a good bank account in the UK that lets you have an international address (I use Citi in canary wharf) and don't forget to post your P80 when you leave, although might be worth checking with a UK accountant if there is anything else that you should be doing from a UK perspective before buggering off.

Last tip - bring a few k in cash with you in casein takes a while to get local accounts set up and you need some spending money without being hit for bank charges every withdrawal.

Thanks for the tips, you've been extremely helpful, seeing my accountant next week to run through what needs to be done.
