UK Tax Residency Planning | Statutory Residence Test & Double Tax Relief Advice

Expert Advice on UK Tax Residency Position

Managing your UK tax residency position is crucial for effective tax planning, especially with the evolving UK non resident tax rules. Our expert team advises clients on how to navigate the complexities of the statutory residence test UK and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.

Understanding the Statutory Residence Test UK (SRT)

The statutory residence test UK (SRT), in force since 6 April 2013, is the basis for determining your UK tax residency status each tax year. The SRT involves a series of automatic UK and overseas tests, as well as a sufficient ties test, considering factors such as the number of days spent in the UK, your work and family connections, and your accommodation ties. Understanding and applying these rules to your personal circumstances can be challenging, but is essential for anyone moving to or from the UK, or seeking to maximise time in the UK while remaining non-resident.

Who Needs UK Tax Residency Advice?

We provide clear, tailored advice to individuals who:

Are coming to or leaving the UK and need to assess their residency status under the latest rules,
Want to spend the maximum possible time in the UK while remaining non-resident, based on the SRT and UK non resident tax rules,
Are dual resident in the UK and another country, and need guidance on double tax relief UK and how double tax treaties impact their income,
Need to understand the implications of a double tax agreement on their residency and tax liabilities.

Importance of Double Tax Relief UK and Treaties

With the introduction of new residence-based rules and the abolition of the remittance basis from April 2025, understanding your tax residency and eligibility for double tax relief UK is more important than ever. We help you manage your exposure to UK tax, benefit from relevant reliefs, and avoid double taxation on foreign income and gains.
