An Iranian official said the Iranian authorities did not view the move as an expulsion rather refusal to renew his visa.
The Guardian report said Iranian authorities originally threatened to deport the correspondent in March because officials were unhappy with his reporting.
Tait was allowed to stay in Iran after his paper appealed against the March decision, the report said. But he has now returned to Britain with his Iranian wife after his visa and residence permit expired, the newspaper added.
