Hi,

I have UK tax resident and working in the UK for the past few years. My current employer is relocating me to a new role in UAE this September. Under the split-year treatment, I will cease to be UK tax resident on the relocation date. I expect to be paid a bonus in February 2018 which covers my performance for the 2017 calendar year. The bonus is at my employer's discretion - I have no contractual entitlement to it.

Will I have a UK income tax liability on this bonus payment?

Many thanks,

uk_expat

Yes a proportion of the bonus will be taxable in the UK as part of it relates to UK workdays i.e. the period from January to August 2017.

Thanks AmanSoud. Is there a HMRC guidance note or a section of the tax code that covers this?
