Dear tutor:
there is a question about PRR:
On 31 March 2023, Angus sold a house, which he had bought on 31 March 2009.
Angus occupied the house as his main residence until 31 March 2014, when he left for employment abroad.
Angus returned to the UK on 1 April 2016 and lived in the house until 31 March 2017, when he bought a flat in a neighbouring town which became his main residence.
What is Angus’ total number of qualifying months of occupation for private residence relief on the sale of the house?
I calculate than its result is 141month,but the answer from BPP is 105,why it does not add any reason for periods up to 36 monthes?It make me confuse.Thanks for your answer.

I'm afraid I do not have access to BPP and cannot answer the question with the information provided.
3 years for any reason - absent from the house - is deemed to be occupation. However, to get this relief you must have actually occupied the house before and after the any reason period.
