Tax Relocation

Temporary Repatriation Facility

The Temporary Repatriation Facility (TRF) is a time-limited UK regime allowing former remittance-basis users to designate pre-6 April 2025 foreign income and gains and bring them into the UK at a reduced flat rate. It runs for three tax years from 6 April 2025.

Why it matters

The TRF and CGT rebasing are frequently presented as alternatives. They are sequential workstreams rather than a binary election, and treating them as either/or is the framing error we see most often. The facility is also time-boxed, so the planning question is one of sequencing within a closing window.
