While there is still much uncertainty about Brexit, nothing should change until at least March 2019.
However, expats returning to the UK post-Brexit must bear in mind that they will be moving to a non-EU country by then.

“Ideally, if you can be flexible around the timing of your move, you should plan your return date around your tax planning”.
