Hi, I am a UK citizen employed full-time by a UK employer with no overseas presence. I will be moving to Dubai during April 2024 and plan to continue to work form there for the UK company remotely. From the financial year 2024-25 onwards, I will not be a UK tax resident ( I will be in the UK just under 30 days , planning to leave 15th April 2024), I have no plans to return to UK in the near future. Under the above scenario, would I be liable to pay UK income tax and NIC on my UK salary earnings from the UK employer? Or could I send P85 to HMRC and apply for an NT code and exempt from NIC's? Or not to complete P85 BUT to get some kind of clearance (S690) from HMRC to be able to apply NT tax code? Following up on the same, if there any time limit set by HMRC on how long I can work from overseas for a UK employer? Thank you in advance.

Hi,
You should complete the form P85 to apply for a Nil Tax (NT) PAYE code.  
There is no time limit for how long you can work overseas for a UK Employer.  
Please see this link which gives further guidance about leaving the UK and how this affects your Tax and NIC deductions:
Tax if you leave the UK to live abroad
Thank you.
