In one of the Mcqs, Ella lives with a family while she works for them until some time.
So this is considered as accommodation tie in the answer.
Whereas in a Section c question, Tonie stayed with her friend for 50 days. She was previously a resident in the UK.
This part confused me since it was not considered to be an accommodation tie.
You have an accommodation tie for a tax year if you have a ‘place to live’ in the UK which is available to you for a continuous period of at least 91 days in the tax year, and at least one night is spent there or if it’s the home of a close relative, you spend at least 16 nights there during the year.
The key is ‘available to you for a continuous period of at least 91 days in the tax year’, like your old room in your parents’ house, for example, that you know you can turn up at virtually any time and be able to stay/live there.
Oh I had no idea about that.
That’s why in the question where Ella lives with a family is an accommodation tie because she was there for more than 91 days.And Tonnie was not when she stayed at her friend’s place.
I got it now.
Thank you so much 🙂
