The type of tax implications involved will depend on the nature of your investment, wider strategic goals and residency status. Generally speaking, overseas investors may be liable to pay one or more of the following UK taxes: Corporate Tax, Income Tax, Capital Gains Tax, VAT. We would always recommend checking your liability with a tax adviser with specific experience in overseas investment.
