So will I be liable for capital gains tax on my rental income and am I still able to invest in my ISA and maintain the tax free status on that? The ISA will be used for my twilight years when I retire.

I believe to be tax free from the Uk you have to go non-resident (fill out a P85 form) and have no property registared to you in the UK.

Hi Subseastu,

I read the post to my husband and although he's got an experience relating to both your questions, he suggested that you call your ISA provider to clear the issue up before you leave. As far as he know, you can't get tax relief specially that you'd be living abroad. BUt best bet is to call your provider.

Regarding the house rental, you'd get taxed for the income you will generate from renting the property. Capital gains is only for buying and selling the house.
