“You may need to pay UK Income Tax on your foreign income, such as:
wages if you work abroad
foreign investment income, for example dividends and savings interest
rental income on overseas property
income from pensions held overseas
Foreign income is anything from outside England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are classed as foreign.
Whether you need to pay depends on if you’re classed as ‘resident’ in the UK for tax.
If you’re not UK resident, you will not have to pay UK tax on your foreign income.
If you’re UK resident, you’ll normally pay tax on your foreign income.”

Italy too!
Well, I’ve lived overseas for 20 years and know plenty of Brits, Germans, and Italians and none of them pay global income tax on money earned outside their country.
Americans are the only suckers forced to pay tax on any money earned overseas.
But you know better I guess.
