Non resident UK Income Tax while working in the KSA
Hi,
Recently I accepted a post at a new uni in Jeddah with a view to starting in aug or early sept.
I understand that in order to be exempt from UK tax you have to be non resident for one full tax year.
So does that mean if I leave in aug or september and return say after april 2012, I will be expempt from any tax?
Thanks,
Ric0

Hi Tax year starts in April to April if you leave country just before or around April then thats a full year. If you leave in may or later it only counts from april the following year providing you complete the full year. You are allowed upto 90 days ( I think ) per year on visits to uk.
And you are supposed to be out of Uk for 3 year period now to qualify. But check with an accountant & I think there is a lady on here called Meow.
As per coffindodger F 85, You can download from HMRC site. They currently advise delay of 2months.
Hope it helps

I don't think so. HMRC's faq still says 1 year:
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/faqs_general.htm#3nr
and they are incredibly quick to update their webpages when things change.

No you do not have to be out of the UK for three years to become non-resident for income tax.
The treatment of partial years depends on a number of factors including total time non-resident and HMRC concessions.
The form from HMRC is a P85 - that's to request non-resident status.

The answer is YES providing you have a contract of employment and the period of that contract includes a complete tax year (April to April) then the whole period is tax free. Also providing that you fill in the forms and you do not spend more than 90 days/year in the UK.
