Expatriate Services

Emigrating requires much planning, flexibility and perseverance. In the face of this, addressing your tax position is easily overlooked.
Even when taxes have been taken into consideration, this is usually limited to the tax position in the new country.

However, leaving your current country could have serious tax implications if you do not take the right steps before you go.
For example, notifying your tax authorities before leaving can be important in your future discussions regarding non-residency and emigration dates.

In addition, you could be entitled to a tax refund or charged an exit tax in reference to your assets.

Since you will become resident in another country, and are therefore likely to become a tax payer under that country’s residence rules, it might be a good idea to re-assess your current tax position and consider possible tax planning before you leave.

Our team of international, trained tax planners has many years of experience in handling all the tax issues of private clients who are leaving their country, and advising on possible tax planning opportunities, such as capital gains planning and pension transfers.

We can also advise you on your tax position in your new country, including the tax benefits available to you, and take care of all the required tax-related paperwork.

Additionally, we would be pleased to introduce you to lawyers, financial institutions and real estate agencies who could help you move to your new country.

Our sister office in Spain, STM Nummos, can assist you in all your Spain-related matters, such as tax returns, purchasing property and drafting wills.

As expatriates ourselves, we understand your need for clear and practical answers.

We speak English and Spanish.
