Certificate Of Fiscal Residence For Employees On Skilled Worker Visa

Hi there Folks, I moved to the UK from Norway in September, 2002 on a skilled worker visa and I am facing double taxation in Norway on my UK income. A Norwegian tax consultant advised me to apply for a Certificate of Fiscal Residence (CoR) in the UK as I have been staying and working on the UK for more than 90 days during the fiscal year 2022/2023. This would supposedly serve as an evidence to the Norwegian authorities that I am paying taxes to HMRC on my UK income. However, the form for requesting the CoR that I found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/get-a-certificate-of-residence, seems to be designed for people who left the UK and then came back. Specifically there are questions such as: "Date that you returned to the UK" and "How many days did you spend outside the UK?". Is this the correct form to fill and if it is, how should I fill these questions considering that I have arrived for the first time in the UK in September, 2022 and have been working and living here ever since?

Hi,

The Certificate of Residence application form is designed to cover a range of different circumstances, so please answer each individual question in accordance with your own situation (entering 'Not applicable' if appropriate).
