Do I fit in split case 4

Dear HMRC, I was born in HK but holds a BC passport by descent via 1991 British Citizen Selection Scheme. I had never been to UK until July last year. My wife and my child moved to settle in Uk through BNO visa starting from Jul 2022. I stopped my work and went to Uk in Jul 2022 as well to stay with them and help them settle. I didn’t work while I was in UK but I returned to HK in March 2023 to work till now. I should be a UK tax resident in year 2022-23 as I stayed in Uk for more than half a year and should file self assessment, I suppose. I wanna clarify if I fit in case 4 of the split year treatment as I only started to have a UK home in mid July 2022 when I moved from R&B to a rented accommodation and I had no ties in UK before Jul 2022. I didn’t work while I was in UK but I returned to HK to work till now so my income in HK from March 2023 till 4/4/2023 should be taxable in Uk as foreign income, right? According to case 4 split year treatment my income in HK from April 2022 to Jul 2022 BEFORE I went to UK need not be taxed in UK. Is my understanding correct? Thank you. Carl
