I found the ANSWER,,, You must apply for a Certificate and the HMRC make the decision based on the application as to whether a “certificate” or a “letter” can be issued. eg ) if no foreign income is declared then a “letter “ is issued Guidance can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/get-a-certificate-of-residence#how-to-apply An online application can be made here: https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/shortforms/form/PT_CertOfRes

Hi ,
 

They are one and the same.  Where a foreign income is declare on a certificate of residence request and the criteria is met, we issue what we call a certificate of residence, however, the certificate we issue, states that it is "Certificate of UK fiscal residence". Thank you .
