Card for California

A UK citizen is moving to the US. Does the type of visa affect the client’s UK tax liabilities?

My client is a UK citizen who wishes to move to California with his family and will be applying for a US E-2 visa. My question is if the client is earning in the US living there and paying US taxes will he also be liable for UK tax?

The client has a buy-to-let property in the UK. His intention is to sell it once he is in the US. Can readers advise on the country in which he would be liable to pay capital gains tax?

Perhaps I should stress that the client will initially have an E-2 visa rather than a green card. Will this make a difference when the client sells the UK buy-to-let or are there any tax reasons why he should wait for his green card before he sells the UK property?
