2024 Autumn Budget: how expats may be affected

On October 30th 2024, the UK Government announced the UK Budget and key tax changes for the year(s) ahead. Despite the doom and gloom headlines preceding the budget announcement, the UK remains a fairly tax-efficient place to be for expats.

In this section we explore the headlines and impacts for expats from the 2024 UK budget.

Pre-budget, there was a lot of speculation around some highly controversial tax changes, and over 70% of expats we asked we extremely nervous about what was going to be announced.

After the budget was announced, and with time to reflect, we brought together a panel of trusted experts from our partnership network to discuss the major (and minor) changes announced in the budget.

We also fielded a range of questions from expats that were put to our panel to ensure we answered the most important questions expats faced.

You can either watch the webinar in full (which was just over an hour long) or read the various summaries below, depending on which content is most relevant to you and your circumstances.

If you need further assistance understanding how the budget might affect you, request an introduction to a specialist using our free introduction service and we will ask one of our partners to arrange an initial discovery call to discuss your situation:

What expats say about our experts

Moving to a new country with all the different tax / pension rules can be daunting. Not only do I now understand our options but also that we are in a much better position for our retirement than we thought we were. A big relief. Thank you.

As an expat who has been living outside the UK for 30 years, it was reassuring to speak to a representative of your company who seemed to have his clients interest at heart, especially when the client has no expertise in finances and investment.
