Guidance

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.

For the UK tax treatment of foreign income in the year of departure from the UK and subsequently, see the Application of split year treatment to component income and gains (2013/14 onwards) guidance note.
