Hi guys
Could anyone give advise on this: what needs to be learned vs remembered for the residency rules? How will it be tested?
KApril 16, 2014 at 7:57 am #165417Good question, I think you are given residency test table in rate sheet by which you can determine automatically resident or not resident, but you need to memories list of UK ties. Am I right? what you say?
April 16, 2014 at 11:36 pm #165498There are 3 processes to remember.
1. Automatic overseas (non resident) rules
2. Automatic resident rules
3. 4 substantive ties testsAutomatic overseas test is as follows
1. individual has spent less than 16 days in the UK
2. individual has spent less than 46 days in the UK and has not been resident in last 3 years
3. Individual has spent less than 90 days in UK and full time job abroad.Automatic UK resident test is as follows
1. Individual stays more than 183 days.
2. individual stays more than 30 days does not have a home abroad
3. Individual has worked full time for 12 months during the tax yearIf the individual fails either test then the substantive tests must be applied. The required tests will be either pass or fail.
A table is given in the exam booklet indicating how many days and tests are required to establish residency.
Tests
1. Individual has family in the UK
2. Individual has access to accommodation for 91 days and spends 1 day or more in accommodation
3.Works full time in UK for 40 days or more.
4. Spends 90 days or more in either or both of previous 2 tax yearsApril 17, 2014 at 12:44 pm #165534@Needs to pass, are substantive tests examinable?
April 18, 2014 at 12:32 am #165568yes the if the individual fails automatic overseas and then automatic UK then you must apply substantive tests. The table is given in the exam so they will probably describe the situation of the person and you will have to run the 2 automatic tests first and if they fail both then substantive tests apply.
April 18, 2014 at 12:44 pm #165593made very complex for 2014, previously it was much simple. Chancellor George Osborne is tightening belt around financial nomads in UK.
April 18, 2014 at 12:53 pm #165594deleted as this was related to FA2012.
April 21, 2014 at 9:34 pm #165858This is correct there is no such thing as ordinary resident. The rules for FA2012 have been replaced in FA2013 with 3 new rules
1. Automatic overseas test
2. Automatic UK resident test
3. If an individual fails both of the above tests then a substantive ties test will be applicable.April 22, 2014 at 10:16 am #165894Anonymous
