I don't give two hoots, but you either don't understand/haven't been informed as to what your husband's actual tax situation is, or if you do understand what is being done and have represented it accurately here on BE, and if he really is "being paid in the UK and paying UK taxes" then it is you who should be concerned. 
So perhaps you would care to correct or add to what you previously posted because what you said is nonsense and is NOT legal.

If they are on any closed-end visa, such as an L-1/L-2 or H-1/H-4 then people have reported success in arguing that they are still resident in the UK for the limited purposes of determining eligibility for domestic tuition rates at university for their children.
Residency for pretty much any other reason, most notably taxes, is a very different matter!

Thanks. As I say kids are young right now at 10,11 and 14 so we have time to concern ourselves with UK uni if that's what we decide.

No where at no point did i say we were not paying US taxes. All dealt with by his company, as I stated. Thanks.

I came on here looking for advice from people who had perhaps been through a similar dilemma to my situation and could help us maybe make a tough decision easier. I wasn't expecting to be harassed about taxes (nothing to do with my post!) and made to feel more emotional than I did when I posted, wow .... thanks anyway

Taxes are a hot-topic here, and long-standing posters are mindful that others read the threads and take on board what is said. There is also a requirement that no-one advocates anything that is illegal, particularly when it comes to immigration law. So corrections/clarifications are not just for your benefit but for lurkers and anyone else that may ever come across this thread.

Thanks yellowroom, shame a lot of people on the forum aren’t actually there to help people but to get a “rise” out of them or look for issues that aren’t there.... I’m out

Now your OP has popped up - if you've been reading for a couple of years then surely you understand already how discussions go here? Don't do a flounce, stick around and join the fun.

Wonder if OP/husband have included their UK rental on their US tax return.
