Split year advice returning to UK
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice on applying split year treatment as I return to the UK after being a non resident for the past six years.
I believe I fall under Case 4 (starting to have a home in the UK), as I will be re-establishing a permanent base in the UK and will also no longer have a overseas home available from my move date back to the UK.
Upon returning, I will initially be staying in temporary accommodation with family, before returning to the UAE for a couple of weeks to finalise my move, and then moving into a new rented property in the UK.
My question is: for the purposes of Case 4, does split year treatment commence from the date I physically return to the UK, or from the date I establish a settled home (i.e. when I move into the rented property) a couple of weeks later?
Thank you in advance!
