Remittance and arising basis.

How foreign income and gains are best brought into account.

What it is

A consequential choice.

Those taxed on foreign income and gains face a choice in how it is brought into account: as it arises, wherever in the world that is, or only when it is brought in. The right answer depends on the size and source of your offshore wealth, how much of it you need onshore, and how the rules treat each. The wrong answer can be expensive, and difficult to unwind.

We weigh the bases against your actual position, plan how and when funds are brought across so that nothing is taxed by accident, and keep capital cleanly separated where that matters. As this area of the rules continues to evolve, we advise on the current framework and what it means for you.
