How much tax should I expect on my salary? 25%? Moving to London from California temporarily so hoping there’s a tax upside here

Taxes are higher here. The upside is the roads, power, and public transport actually work.

You seriously thought coming to Europe there would be a tax upside? 🤭

Maybe if you’re moving from California....but still unlikey

Depends what you make. Sales tax in the UK is 20% and income taxes range from 20%, 40%, 45%. On the plus side property tax (council tax) is lower in the UK than the US. Working for BCG I imagine you’ll be in the 40% tax bracket at least, so in short London is very unlikely to offer you a tax upside.

Also this isn’t a concern with COVID right now, but make sure you aren’t back in California for more than 30 days a year or you’ll be taxed the resident rate

If you are moving temporarily, you wouldn't be taxed at the highest rate as your income for the year in UK will be much lower. But if you are US citizen, your income in UK might be taxed in the US too

Could you elaborate further in terms of the differential? Move is temporary - under 1 year

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
