THE FRY GROUP WEBINAR: PLANNING A RETURN TO THE UK? HOW TO GET YOUR TAXES RIGHT

Each year we see many UK expats return to the UK without considering some of the tax planning measures they could put in place. After years of living abroad, it can be easy to forget that the UK tax system is complex and can be overwhelming when thrown into the process of moving.
In this webinar, Peter Webb, Head of Tax Advisory at The Fry Group, will explain the important tax and financial considerations returning expats should be aware of. He’ll also clarify why good planning is necessary and detail how to limit your exposure to UK tax and protect your wealth.
What can I learn from this webinar?
- Key considerations before moving back to the UK
- The trigger points that make you UK resident for tax purposes
- Common mistakes that can expose you to tax – even before you arrive home
- Some tax-efficient investment strategies you can adopt once in the UK
There will be plenty of opportunity for Q&A. Please submit any questions you would like answered to events@thefrygroup.co.uk.

DON’T FORGET YOUR CASH FOR ICE POPS!
Ice Pops are back on sale at the F&B Hut at Dempsey on Saturdays. They are $2 each – CASH ONLY PLEASE. Please bring the exact change if possible, as it only takes one person paying with $50 or $100 for one ice pop to wipe out all our change. Thank you!

KEEP HYDRATED
With the hot and humid weather, it’s very easy to become dehydrated, especially if you have been on holiday in cooler climates and may not have acclimatized yet. This is particularly so for the young, and those partaking in outdoor activities – such as rugby and touch!
Dehydration affects our brain’s ability to regulate body temperature, and by the time we experience actual thirst, our brains are already partially dehydrated.
Please make sure your children hydrate well before they come down to training, ensure that they have a full water bottle with them, and encourage them to take sips regularly even if they don’t feel thirsty. If they run out of water, there is water pitch side where they can refill their bottles.

KIT
If your team is taking part in games or tournaments, we would kindly ask that you ensure that your child is wearing their full and up-to-date kit. They must wear the latest playing jersey/touch tops which have our sponsors latest logos on them. Please keep the old tops with the old logos just for training.
We need to honour our sponsors contribution and support by wearing the tops that they have sponsored for us.


LIGHT SNACKS AT DEMPSEY

Don’t forget that light snacks are available for sale at the F&B Hut at Dempsey. You will now be able to buy muffins, sandwiches and hot dogs to go with your coffee! Please note that you now pay by PayNow and cash, or you can sign on your account if you are a Singapore Cricket Club member.
