Remote UK employee and right to work travelling abroad

Hello, I am a EU citizen with a EU passport and indefinite leave to remain in the UK. I am employed full time at a UK company for which I work remotely most of the time. I plan on requesting to work fully remotely and while travelling around Europe for a period of 18 months during which I will not be settling in any one country for longer than 3 weeks. I plan on living in a motorhome full time during those 18 months. I would like to make it as easy as possible for my employer, therefore, could HMRC please clarify how to proceed from a legal perspective: can I remain a lawful UK tax resident and keep paying my national insurance and PAYE tax as normal? Will I need to keep a UK address for tax purposes even if I will be abroad and living in my motorhome? In the case that I must keep a UK address for taxation, does this hold any implications with council tax? Could I use a forwarding address to avoid this scenario? Are there any more legal implications my current employer might need to consider? Thank you

I would sugest you have a conversation with a tax specialist as this is a complex case. As for council tax, you need to speak to the local council on the property you may be renting. You may wish to have a trusted friend's address as the address for correspondence

Hi Soymoomoo,

Please refer to guidance below and in particular your residence status as this determines what happens.

Tax on your UK income if you live abroad

HMRC cannot comment on council tax and you will need to check with your local authority for this.

Thank you.

Thank you! Confirming I received my answers after contacting a tech over phone.

Hi! I have a similar question and am struggling to find any answers. What did you find out and who did you speak to? Thank you!

Hi Laura, Yes, very simple. No council tax if you're no longer resinding here. Then in my specific case, I'd remain a UK resident for tax purposes if I follow a specific set of circumstances outlined in the RDR3 Statutory residence test - Section: sufficient ties test. I have enough points to remain tied to the UK during my travel period to continue paying taxes here. I'd suggest giving that article a read and let me know if I can help further. HMRC confirmed they need a UK address for correspondence for the duration of my travel, and it seems the best course of action is providing a friend's address. Unfortunately in my case, my work place turned down the arrangement so I have no hands-on experience of this.
