Re: Tax resident UK...work part year Australia
It would depend on if the ATO regarded you as resident in Oz for tax purposes. If not and you can establish you are resident in the UK then you would not pay tax. But you would pay UK tax unless you were only back in the UK for a maximum of 90 days. But, if you were in Oz for so long as to be tax exempt in the UK the ATO would probably be able to establish you are resident in Oz.
I would strongly advise getting a expert to review it - i know some guys that have got into serious problems by getting it wrong.

The work I do is only for four months or so per year and I could arrange to be here for that time. That would mean I would be a UK tax resident as I would be there for over half the year and I already have a UK income.
Just an idea at the moment but I am currently doing a similar thing using here as a base but not working in the UK.
If I think it would work I would obviously take expert advise.
