Hey guys. Sorry for this noob question... I just came to UK at the end of July, and started working (full-time) in August. I have NI and everything, and I've a tax code assigned to me from HMRC.In September, So, my question is, am I currently (as of September 24) a tax resident of UK? I tried to complete the online self-assessment, but I was confused by this question: "Did you work full time in the UK for any period of 365 days?". I feel like the answer is yes, but then again, this question was phrased in an ambiguous way... But anyways, let me know how you think of this.

Hi Harvey,
Sorry, HMRC cannot advise you on your residence as that is for you to determine baed on the guidance available.

Not HMRC...you are treated as tax resident from the date of arrival and are fully tax resident for the following year, having arrived "permanently" in July 24, unless anything changes and you leave again in the following year. You are likely "split year" for 2024/25 (hence not technically fully tax resident, but treated as such from arrival) so liable in the UK on worldwide income/assets from arrival.
