Well the jet lag has subsided now and those things that I have been putting off need to be addressed. That means filling out my tax return for the year up to April 06

Unlike in the USA where you pay tax wherever you are the rules for the UK and the rest of Europe differs. I was offshore for a great chunk of the tax year so in theory I should not have to pay UK tax.

To be honest as the figures are quite low I was considering just paying the UK tax this time and then looking into ways of changing my status but this is a very grey area.

If anyone has been in a similar position I’d love to hear your feedback on this before I seek advice from the IR.
