The tax man

[aitchem]

Hi,

What do you tell the tax man.?

I have worked abroad and had lots of aggro from them, missing the self-assesment date and other such meanialities..

What happens when you dissapear for one-two years-forever.?

I am contemplating the move to the Med or even further.
Do I call him up and say bye, I'm off, no forwarding address, up yours pal.
Will I get fined for missing self-assessments with interest ad finitum.
Then, sorry no pension pal.

The "Bye I'm off" form is P85. They will quite like a fwd address. You might be liable for continuing UK tax, tax is not just a matter fo whether you live here.

It's pointless withholding a fwding address. Assuming you retain connections with UK, (investments, family, etc) those people can be required by service of a notice to hand over documents that might (not "do", just "might") relate to your tax and that would include your contact details. Better to do it right, within the law

Far more complicated than you would think! Get some expert advice or it could be very expensive for you. Look up 'blevins franks' on the net, they produced a very good and free book.
