CurrawongSong Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Hi all I've moved back and forth between Sydney and the UK a bit and am about to return to the UK in February. I will only have been here for 9 months this time and so have had my ToR application rejected for the first time. I've tried to have it reconsidered but it's not happening. I was wondering if anyone knows how much tax would be paid on a usual personal effects move, or how it's calculated? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have to say moving back and forth like that sounds exhausting!! I don’t think there is a flat rate, it depends on the goods I think. HMRC have a helpline for TOR and I think an online chat assistant, which might be worth a shot. Wonder why they refused your TOR, maybe they think you are running an illegal import/export in single items of homeware! Once you get through to HMRC I always find them really helpful. Good luck! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The website clearly states: To claim relief, you must satisfy all of the following criteria: you’ve been resident outside the UK for at least 12 consecutive months, prior to the date of moving to Great Britain or Northern Ireland https://www.gov.uk/guidance/transfer-of-residence-to-great-britain#who-can-claim-relief 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurrawongSong Posted December 19, 2023 Author Share Posted December 19, 2023 Thank you for your replies. Yes, it has been exhausting, I'm looking forward to stopping and settling! Great to hear about the online chat assistant, I'll give it a go. Many thanks again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
