Can I live abroad and pay tax in the UK?
You should be aware the legislation exists to determine if you remain a UK tax resident, despite spending more than 183 days in another tax jurisdiction. There exists a variety of criteria, based on the total number of days you spend in the UK and the ties you maintain there, that need to be examined before an opinion can be formed.
What is overseas workday relief?
