Practical aspects of expatriate tax

Expatriate tax has always been a difficult area. HMRC have specialist teams dealing with this area as they realise that increased resources devoted to risk areas, both in terms of training and computer software, reap increased rewards. It is evident from the enquiries being raised and the recent changes in this area that HMRC are tightening up their approach. The changes in the Finance Act 2008 mean that even greater consideration needs to be given to expatriate assignments to ensure their success and that maximum value is achieved.
