Letting people know you're back
Hi just wondered, I won't be working when I return to the UK (I'll officially be on mat leave from Australia) but will I need to let the UK tax office know I'm back? I'll registered with a GP/hospital/dentist, but do I need to do anything else?

Still laughing at what mummyinthefoothills said...
Yeah you need to get on the electoral roll, as otherwise it's hard to get credit etc (you might not want to borrow money but eg mobile phone contract etc).

Re: Letting people know you're back
Could you do that from here online using a relative's address, or do you physically have to be there and sign something?

Re: Letting people know you're back
I'm not sure how you'd do it from over there, I did it from the UK the government sent out a letter, I filled in the form and sent it back.
Try this website, it has links to most government departments on it
