My accountant has just informed me that due to retirement they cannot complete my 12/13 tax year self assessment.
I am looking for a Singapore based Accountant or Company that I can meet face to face to process and submit my self assessment to the UK HMRC.
Do you know or better still recommend anybody
Thanks in advance

UK tax self assessment
Well I'm self-employed, and paraphrasing 300 sections of tax code. [always highly dangerous
]
But relevant to me and my kind, is how they treat you as resident or non-resident* (perhaps the one really significant thing). To what extent are you liable to tax. Look at the official sites and it's never easy to find an answer to such a seemingly simple question.
I'm looking at selling some UK property and have reached a point of just no longer caring what the UK tax implications are.
- I couldn't find an answer on the IR website or any other.
- A bloke on the internet said I have no tax to pay after 10 years ownership
= I've just given up. I'm just going to sell and if they want to come for me in 3/5/7 years time, so be it.
p.s. Aster. The other matter to look out for is the concept of being considered legally resident for 'tax years' (check the IR website, you'll find an answer there). I.e. the issue of 182 +/- days in the UK in any tax year. I've previously segued this (for tax) arguing I was a visitor (which technically I was) rather than a returning resident. It's not possible (and probably inadvisable) to give further advice without more inputs. But as you might expect there are ways around most everything.
* Can get very relevant if you're buying/selling significant assets etc.
p.s. The years where you are considered 'legally resident' in x/z/y [gotta love this German keyboard lol] are important.
