What Quit UK Tax is — and what it isn't

Quit UK Tax is a free, plain-English wiki and toolkit that explains how to legally stop being a UK tax resident after you leave the UK, under the Statutory Residence Test and split-year treatment. Everything here is educational information and general guidance on how the rules work. It is not tailored to your circumstances, and it is not a substitute for advice on your own position.

We are bold about leaving the UK and scrupulously precise about the tax — but precision is not the same as personal advice. We explain the rules; we do not assess your facts, sign off your residence status, or tell you what to do. Where your situation is genuinely complex or high-stakes, that is the point to bring in a qualified adviser and use the official HMRC route.

Is this tax advice?

No. Nothing on Quit UK Tax is regulated tax, legal, accountancy or financial advice. We give general information about how UK residence and tax rules work; we do not provide a personal recommendation, assess your circumstances, or confirm your residence position.

Using Quit UK Tax, reading its guides or running its tools creates no client, adviser, agent or fiduciary relationship between you and Quit UK Tax or DT Global Ventures Ltd. If you need someone to take responsibility for your specific position, you need a qualified, regulated adviser — not a wiki.

Are you affiliated with HMRC?

No. Quit UK Tax is an independent, privately operated resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated on behalf of HM Revenue & Customs, gov.uk or any UK government body. We cite and link to the official sources constantly; we are not them, and we do not look like them by design.

The official route is always gov.uk and HMRC. Where the two ever differ, the live HMRC and gov.uk guidance prevails over anything on this site — verify the official source before you act.

Are you regulated by the FCA?

No. Quit UK Tax is not authorised or regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (or by any other regulator), and it does not carry out any regulated activity. We do not give financial, investment, pension or insurance advice, and we are not a tax agent acting for you. We are an educational publisher, full stop.

Is the information guaranteed to be correct?

No — and no one honest could promise that. We work hard to keep everything accurate, dated and sourced to primary HMRC and gov.uk material, and we review on a stated cadence — but tax rules change, sources are restructured, and we give no warranty that any page is complete, current or error-free. The current UK tax year referenced across the site is 2026/27 (6 April 2026 to 5 April 2027); figures are dated to the year they apply to.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site, its guides and its tools are provided "as is", without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Always verify the live HMRC source before acting. You can read exactly how we research, source and review the content — and how to report an error — on our methodology page.

Are the tools rulings?

No. The residence-status calculator, leaving-the-UK checklist and refund checker give estimates and explanations based on the general rules and the inputs you give — not a determination of your residence status or a ruling on your tax. Your residence status is self-assessed and depends on your exact facts. A tool result indicates a likely position and shows the working and the HMRC source; it is not a sign-off, and we never guarantee a refund, a figure, a timescale or a residence outcome. Treat any result as a first-pass compass, then check the cited HMRC source and, for anything high-stakes, a qualified adviser.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DT Global Ventures Ltd is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, Quit UK Tax, its guides or its tools — including any decision you make, or do not make, about your residence, your tax or your finances. The information is general and may not apply to you; relying on it is your own decision. Nothing in this disclaimer excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so (for example, liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud). This does not affect your statutory rights.

What should I do for my own situation?

For your own circumstances — and always for a complex or high-stakes position such as dual residence and treaty tie-breakers, large capital-gains or inheritance-tax exposure, company central management and control, or trusts — consult a suitably qualified, regulated tax adviser or accountant, and use the official HMRC route. Use Quit UK Tax to understand the rules and to ask better questions; use a qualified adviser to decide and sign off your position.

Governing law

This disclaimer, and your use of Quit UK Tax, are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. This sits alongside our terms of use and our privacy policy, which apply together with it.
