About this lesson

This lesson covers the basis of assessment for capital gains tax on overseas aspects, including when UK residents pay tax on worldwide gains, when qualifying new residents have limited exposure, and when non-residents fall outside the UK tax net. Understanding residency status is essential for ATX and SBR, as it determines your tax liability and planning opportunities across multiple jurisdictions.
