Hi there,

Looking for some simple tax advice on overseas income. Have looked through HMRC website and even more confused!

I moved out to middle east on 12th September 2014 and plan to be there 5 years with only 20-25 days per year back in UK. I’ve gone through the residency test and it states I remain UK resident as I owned a property int he UK since Apr 14 (although I wasn’t resident based on my number of days living in UK).

What I am trying to establish is whether or not I am liable to pay UK income tax on the money I earn in Middle East for the remainder of this tax year 14/15.

Would really appreciate any expert views as the HMRC website is tougher than Algebra!

Thanks in advance..
