How to change from a scottish tax resident to a english tax resident after moving to london for work

If you have moved to London for work and are now considered a tax resident of England, you will need to update your tax status accordingly. Here are the steps to change your tax residency from Scotland to England:

1. Notify HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC): You will need to notify HMRC of your change of residency. You can do this by contacting the HMRC helpline or by filling out the HMRC P85 form online. The form will ask for information about your income, employment, and the date you moved to England.
2. Cancel your Scottish tax code: Once you have informed HMRC of your move, they will cancel your Scottish tax code and issue you with a new English tax code.
3. Register for a new National Insurance number: If you do not already have a National Insurance number, you will need to register for one in England. You can do this by calling the National Insurance helpline
