對於剛移英的朋友的來說,到底幾時開始要納稅,是一個令人困擾的問題,尤其是坊間或網上資訊,訊息頗為混亂,甚至有些消息是互相矛盾,要了解自己是否已符合稅務居民定義,靠自己上網查確實並不容易,今次就跟大家詳談稅務居民的定義,避免讀者誤墮稅務陷阱而不自知,導致被英國稅局罰款或影響個人紀錄。


稅務居民必須納稅


首先,筆者先要有一個簡單清晰的概念,就是如果你是稅務居民,你就要向稅局納稅;相反,假如你不是或未成為稅務居民,你是無需要納稅的。了解清楚這個基本概念後,你就可以開始了解到底稅務居民的定義是甚麼。


成為稅務居民的四大關連條件


英國對稅務居民定義是頗為複雜,讀者需要先弄清楚以下四大關連條件:


條件(一)Accommodation tie你在英國自己的居所居住最少1晚;或在親戚的居所,住了至少16晚


條件(二)90 days tie在過去兩個稅務年度入面,你在任何一個稅務年中在英國停留滿90日


條件(三)Work tie在一個稅務年度中,你在英國工作日數超過40日(註:每工作超過3小時就計1個工作天,因此兼職都有機會計上)


條件(四)Family tie你在英國的家人是稅務居民


關連條件與逗留日數的關係在這四大關連條件中,假設你中了其中一項,其實並不等於你已成為稅務居民而需要納稅,還要再看你在英國逗留多久:


如果你逗留日數少於45日,你並不會成為稅務居民,因此不需要擔心;但假如你逗留日

數為46日到90日,又符合上述全部4個關連條件,你就會是稅務居民。而如果你逗留日數為91日到120日,你符合上述其中3個關連條件,或你逗留日數為121到182日,並符合當中兩個關連條件,你都一樣是稅務居民,需要納稅。至於在稅務年度中逗留超過183日,就無論你是否符合上面的關連條件,你都自動成為稅務居民。

成為稅務居民後必須報稅


讀者們記得記得要在稅務局完成登記及遞交個人評稅表,以免被稅局追究。而2022到2023年的稅務年已經開始報稅,如果你是在2022年4月6日後到英國,就可以按照上述條件評估自己是否屬於稅務居民,然後進行報稅。如果對報稅程序有任何疑問,建議找專業持牌會計師替你處理,避免因小失大。
