STOP PRESS: The remittance basis is to be abolished from 6 April 2025, although this only applies to foreign income and gains arising on or after that date. The remittance basis rules still apply to unremitted income and gains arising before that date but remitted later. The legislation is included in Finance Bill 2025. For more details, see the Abolition of the remittance basis from 2025/26 guidance note.

Home leave

Home leave is a general term used to describe the situation where an employee works in a foreign country, but remains liable to UK income tax on earnings by virtue of remaining resident in the UK, and travels back to his home country during that overseas assignment. If the employer provides or pays for travel and subsistence to enable the employee to take home leave, the normal rules apply (unless one of the special provisions described below apply). This means that unless the reliefs below apply, the cost of the travel and subsistence provided or the amount reimbursed to the employee is likely to be taxable
