Has the sun set on your time abroad? Whatever your reason for returning to the UK, there are a number of things to remember as you prepare. Here’s our handy checklist for UK repatriates:
Get your tax affairs in order:
- Check with your host country whether you will owe any tax before leaving
- Check with HM Revenue & Customs regarding UK tax
Update your health records:
- Register with a UK GP and dentist
- Notify your medical and travel insurance providers
- Transfer your GP, dental and other healthcare records to the UK
Sort out your children’s schools:
- Notify your children’s host schools that they will be leaving
- Contact your local UK education authority to arrange school places in your home county
Prepare to move home:
- Arrange to sell or end the lease on your foreign property
- Arrange for accommodation in the UK
- Notify your bank, building society, utility companies and local council (for electoral registration) in both your host country and the UK of your new address
