Overseas workday relief (OWR) provides for a temporary tax relief in respect of overseas earned income, where an individual’s employment is partly undertaken in the UK and partly undertaken overseas. The relief is only available for a limited period following new arrival to the UK.

In its Autumn Budget 2024, the Government confirmed that the current non-UK domicile tax regime is to be replaced with a residence based system from 6 April 2025. Summary details of the new regime is provided in the Domicile overview guidance note. With these changes, a new system for providing relief on overseas employment income will also be introduced on 6 April 2025. This guidance note summarises the proposed new relief for 2025/26. It also retains the guidance previously provided, ie covering periods up to 5 April 2025.
