Working from Sovereign Base as a military spouse

I am moving to Akrotiri in January with my partner who is in the RAF. We will be living on the base and I will be working from home. I work for the NHS who have advised that I cannot continue to work for them whilst living in Cyprus due to 'tax implications'. I will have a UK bank account and own a home in the UK. Can I continue to work for the NHS as a UK citizen but work in Cyprus? How would tax be affected?

Hi Joanne Beesley,
As you are living on the base and working from home you would still be considered as working in the UK as this is classed as UK soil.
There would be no change to your tax status.
Thank you. 

Hi, As above I have the option of moving to Akrotiri with my husband in the RAF, if we can go we will be living on the base and I would like to keep my job which is fully remote. My Employer are UK based company who have not come across this before but have said there might be a two year limit (the posting is for 3). They also mentioned they would have to set up a separate payroll because of the address (I will be keeping UK bank account) and have to pay Cyprus tax of over 2 years? I have done lots of research and am confused by their response. Can you help?

Hi Lisa Dickinson

As you are living on the RAF base this is classed as UK soil and as such you are still UK tax resident. There is no change to your circumstances as you should still be able to be on the same payroll.

Thank you

Hi there, similar to the above queries, please could you confirm that as a UK resident, if my wife accepted a posting to Cyprus in the Sovereign Base Area, there would be no change to tax status? And as a spouse working from home, there would be no change working from a Sovereign Base compared to working from home in the UK in terms of tax or payroll, allowing me to keep my remote working position? Many thanks.
