Offshore Bank Account

Postby billtax » Fri Jan 24, 2014 5:15 pm

Hi

I am paid by a foreign employer into an Offshore Bank account in the Isle of Man, I am paid in dollars.

I do not transfer all my wages to my Uk bank account during the year only really what i live on.

Due to my rotation offshore I am in Uk for less than 183 days but more than 91

Do I have to declare all the money I have been paid on my tax return or just the amount paid into my UK bank account

Are you UK domiciled.

Is the seafarers deduction relevant to you.

By "offshore" do you mean outside UK territorial waters?

Hi
I have a house in the UK and I will reside there during my 91 days in the country

I am hoping to go Tax Free from April and spend no more than 91 days in the country

If you work in UK territorial waters then you are exposed to UK tax irrespective of your residence status and irrespective of where your salary is paid.
