英国海外收入与收益(FIG)新税制解读

16.04.26

2025年4月6日起生效的海外收入与收益(Foreign Income and Gains,简称 FIG)税制取代了原有的非英国本地居民汇回征税制度。该制度适用于英国税务居民及非英国税务居民的个人纳税人。 FIG税制概述 FIG税制主要适用于在成为英国税务居民前,已连续至少十年不属于英国税务居民的个人。符合条件的个人在成为英国税务居民后的前四个纳税年度内,可以选择不对其符合条件的海外收入与收益缴纳英国税,即使资金被汇入英国境内亦可享受该项优惠。 四年优惠期结束后,将无法继续享受FIG税收优惠,纳税人需就其全球范围内的收入与资本收益缴纳英国税。 若个人在四年优惠期内短暂离开英国,只要在剩余优惠期内重新成为英国税务居民,仍可能继续适用FIG税制。例如,若个人在2026/27税年成为英国税务居民,随后在2027/28及2028/29税年离开英国,但自2029/30税年重新成为英国税务居民,则仍可在2026/27及2029/30税年享受FIG税收优惠。 个人的税务居民身份将依据法定税务居民测试(Statutory Residence Test,SRT)进行判定。即使个人根据双重税收协定在其他司法辖区被视为税务居民,英国税务居民年度仍可能计入FIG税制的计算周期。 FIG税务申报与合规要求 纳税人必须在个人自我评税申报中申请FIG税收优惠,申请须在相关税年结束后的次年1月31日前完成。例如,2026/27税年的申请截止日期为2029年1月31日。 若在申报截止后发现新增海外收入或收益,通常可能无法继续享受税收减免,除非符合特定例外条件。 FIG税制允许按收入来源逐项申请税收优惠,纳税人可选择对部分海外收入申请减免,而对其他收入不申请。但需要注意,选择适用FIG税制的个人需披露其全球范围内的收入与收益。 在享受FIG税制期间产生的海外收入损失或资本损失通常不可用于税务抵扣。此外,选择适用该制度的纳税人将失去个人所得税免税额(2025/26税年为£12,570)及资本利得税年度免税额(2025/26税年为£3,000)。此外,选择适用FIG税制的纳税人将失去个人所得税免税额(2025/26税年为£12,570)及资本利得税年度免税额(2025/26税年为£3,000)。 海外工作日减免(OWR)政策 符合FIG税制条件的雇员,还可申请最长四个税年的海外工作日减免(Overseas Workday Relief, OWR)。新规则将适用期限由原三年延长至四年。 该政策允许雇员就其在英国境外完成工作所获得的收入享受所得税减免,无论该收入是否汇入英国。 OWR减免额度上限为以下两者中的较低值: 30%的合格雇佣收入;或 £300,000。 OWR可独立于其他FIG税收优惠单独申请。对于2025年4月6日前已申请OWR但不符合新FIG税制条件的个人,可能适用过渡性规则,仍可在首三个税年内继续申请减免。 专业建议与支持 在FIG税制下,英国税务居民可能更早进入全球征税范围,并面临更复杂的申报要求。建议在申请相关税收优惠前寻求专业税务建议,以确保税务合规并优化个人税务安排。 如需进一步了解FIG税制如何适用于您的个人情况,欢迎随时联系 Moore Kingston Smith 专业团队获取咨询支持。

英国用工新规来袭:中资企业如何应对?

13.04.26

随着英国《雇佣权利法案》(Employment Rights Act, ERA)在2026至2027年分阶段实施,英国用工环境将发生重大变化。 对于在英国设立子公司或拓展业务的中国企业而言,这不仅是政策更新,更意味着: 用工成本上升 合规风险加大 HR管理复杂度显著提高 稍有不慎即可能面临劳动仲裁或声誉风险 尤其是在不熟悉英国劳动法体系的情况下,企业往往容易在合同条款、解雇流程、员工权益保障等方面出现合规漏洞。 本指南将帮助中国企业快速了解关键变化,并制定切实可行的应对策略。 中国企业在英国常见用工痛点 在我们的客户实践中,出海企业通常面临以下挑战: 劳动合同不符合英国法律要求(直接套用国内模板) 试用期与解雇流程不规范,增加被员工索赔风险 对员工权利理解不足(如病假、陪产假、灵活工作) 薪酬结构缺乏税务优化,整体成本偏高 缺乏长期激励机制,难以吸引和留住本地人才 HR体系不完善,管理依赖总部经验,缺乏本地化 随着ERA新规实施,这些问题将被进一步放大。 新规带来的关键影响 ERA:2026年4月生效重点 1. 法定病假工资(SSP)变更 自2026年4月6日起,取消等待期及最低收入门槛。 应对措施: 更新劳动合同、员工手册及病假政策,使员工从第一天起即享有SSP 确保薪资系统可计算从病假第一天起的SSP,并正确应用费率 向管理层及薪酬负责人员进行培训并进行内部沟通 风险提示: 不合规可能导致错误支付SSP的处罚,同时短期病假成本可能上升 2. 陪产假与育儿假 自2026年4月6日起,入职即享权利(Day-one rights),陪产假可在共享育儿假前后使用 应对措施: 更新劳动合同、员工手册及家庭友好型休假政策 向员工清晰传达政策更新 培训管理层掌握新规则 规划可能增加的休假需求 风险提示: 不合规可能导致员工申诉或法律索赔,并可能增加休假相关成本 3. 性骚扰 自2026年4月6日起,纳入“受保护披露”范畴 应对措施: 更新劳动合同、员工手册、申诉及举报政策 明确沟通举报流程及支持机制 培训管理层处理举报投诉 风险提示: 不合规可能增加索赔风险及声誉损害,并可能导致赔偿支出增加 4. 公平工作监管机构(Fair Work Agency)…
