As an international student in the UK, I had a UK bank account. My bank has said that I can keep using this bank account despite exit from the UK.As an international student, I did not file any tax returns as I was either getting a fully paid bursary for studies from the uni, was self-financed and/or any part-time jobs I was doing were taxed through the PAYE scheme.
I pay tax on my worldly income where I currently live. In general, the only thing I use the UK account for is to manage credit card payments or international trips. I transfer a little bit of money to the account to pay the monthly credit cad fees or any expenses I may have while travelling. I do NOT receive any interest on any balance on my account (had given this in writing to the bank ages ago). I do not receive any income from any source directly into the UK account.
I have two separate questions:
- Given the above scenario, do I need to file income tax return separately in the UK due to holding this account?
- If in the future I may end up taking a virtual job (such as with an online firm) for which I receive payment through the UK account, would I then have to file tax returns in the UK despite being non-resident there? Would it make a difference if I have a UK virtual employer or a non-UK virtual employer? Would it make a difference if I was already paying tax on global income where I lived?
Sorry for such a long question!
