UK Self Assessment - Director Abroad

[Laurence Jones]

Hi all,

I have been pondering this for a short while and wanted to check here for advice.

I am a Director of a UK company (founded in September 2015), but have lived in Germany since January 2015. Am I still obliged to complete a UK self assessment as a Director?

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum!

Queries about tax and residence are always quick to ask and long to answer I'm afraid! Broadly speaking, if you have income arising in the UK that is not being taxed, you need to fill in a self-assessment tax return. However, there are so many rules in this field, it really does depend on your personal circumstances.
