Immigration from Hong Kong to the UK: renting your property

Publications

As the UK Government prepares to open the Hong Kong British National (Overseas) Visa for applications from January 2021, many people in Hong Kong may be planning to buy and rent out UK property, before moving into this property while keeping and renting out their Hong Kong property.

To help them understand the tax implications of this arrangement, BKL private client tax specialist Geraint Jones was interviewed for Hong Kong’s Next Magazine.

Topics discussed by Geraint include capital gains tax, Principal Private Residence relief (also known as main residence relief) and Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED).
