Why residency matters

UK residence status generally determines whether your worldwide income and gains, or only UK-source amounts, fall within UK tax.

How it is determined

HMRC applies a statutory residence test that considers days spent in the UK and your ties to the UK. Moving to or from the UK part-way through a year can raise further questions.
