I recently took up residency in Portugal. I confirmed my change of address at the time of my 2022-23 HMRC submission, submitting form SA109 by post. Residency in Portugal was approved in March 2023 and I have lived here since. Portuguese assessment is now due, and I thought it best to complete my UK assessment for 2023-24 at the same time. I have a UK Local Authority pension, state pension and earn income from a UK dwelling. The first page "personal details" of the HMRC on-line submission requires confirmation of "tax residency". The options are England, Scotland, NI and Wales. There is no option to indicate non-UK residency. How do I ensure my assessment is done on the basis of my foreign tax residency, given that I cannotselect such an option? Thanks.

Hi MFP,
As you are no longer UK resident you cannot file your tax return online using HMRC software as you need to complete the residence section. You will need to file a paper return or purchase 3rd party software.
