Do I need to pay UK tax on foreign employment income?

Possibly. You should complete the statutory residency test questions to check your residency status and make sure.


If you are UK resident, then you pay tax on your worldwide income. If you are abroad for less than one complete tax year or on a casual basis, you would generally expect to be UK resident. However, to be 100% sure you should complete the SRT questions to make sure. Your self-assessment should record your foreign employment income and you will be given credit for any foreign tax you’ve had to pay.
