Counting Your Days
Mid-year is a good time to check your day-count for UK residency. The SRT determines if you are a UK tax resident based on days spent in the country and your 'ties' to the UK. Most expats aim for under 183 days, but you could be a resident with as few as 16 days depending on your situation.
The Tie Test
Ties include family, accommodation, and work. LSI keywords include 'SRT,' 'HMRC RDR3,' and 'Split Year Treatment.' Formula: Residency depends on $$Days + Ties$$. Understanding your status now ensures you don't accidentally trigger a worldwide tax obligation in the UK for 2026.
