- Course Aims:
This podcast looks at the complex concept of residence in UK taxation. Together, the concepts of residence, ordinary residence and domicile determine how much an individual must pay in tax to HMRC. Determining whether someone is UK resident is a notoriously complex process taking in a range of different factors. This difficulty has been exacerbated by the absence of a statutory test, inconclusive guidance from HMRC and a myriad of factually complex cases going back as far as the 19th Century. This podcast aims to examine the case law, established relevant factors and Revenue guidance to break down the concept of residence into something more manageable.
