UK expat tax

Postby allanf » Tue Jan 30, 2018 3:30 pm

Hi,

I am a non UK resident. I have been investing in the UK and recently met my CGT tax allowance of 11k. I have now opened an offshore bank in the isle of man and transferred my money there in order to continue investing and not be liable for CGT.

I am just about to start investing in some index fund ETFs but I am unsure on the following:

Can I invest in absolutely any ETFs (vanguard/ishares etc) and not be liable for CGT? Or does it matter where the etc is based - do I need to avoid those based in the UK even though I'm investing from an offshore bank?

I notice some are based in the UK, others Europe, Ireland etc etc

Thanks in advance
