Hi team, My partner and I will be going to live in a UK embassy abroad for my job. My partner wants to work remotely for a UK company, ideally working remotely for her existing UK company. Can you please confirm that, because she is my partner and I am a Crown Servant and we will be living in the UK embassy, that she will remain being treated as residing in the UK for tax purposes? Does this therefore mean that her UK company (or any UK company) could continue to treat her as if she was resident in the UK and continue using PAYE and treat her as if she was any other UK-based employee? I can see the following answer has been given to similar questions in this forum, which seems to confirm the above: The partner of a Crown servant posted overseas who is accompanying the Crown servant posted overseas shall be treated as being in the United Kingdom if they are either: - in the country where the Crown servant is posted, or - temporarily absent from the country Thank you in advance.

Hi,
As you will be living in the embassy, this is classed as UK soil so will still be UK resident.
Thankyou.
