  • RE: Certificate of Tax Residence

    I submitted the documents to update my HMRC address by post office 3 months ago, but the address has not changed in my personal tax account yet. I managed to change my postal address online, but when I try to change my main address, I get the following error: "The date you entered is earlier than a date previously held on your address record." Thank you.
  • Certificate of Tax Residence

    I would like to request a Certificate of Tax Residence from the UK to submit it in the tax authorities of my home country (Greece) to avoid double taxation. I work in the UK since 1 August 2022 under a Skilled Worker Visa. I have personal income only in the UK, and I receive interest from a savings bank account in Greece. I can't use the online service, because I do not have an NFC mobile phone to use the app and I do not have 2 of the requested documents to verify my identity (I have only one of them). For this reason, I used the email form and completed it with as much details as possible. However, I received the following email: "Unfortunately, i am unable to verify your residency status please send in evidence you were a UK resident for this period including UK address you have lived at. In addition please complete the residency test on the link below." I completed the residency test and I am a tax residence in the UK for the previous tax year (6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023), because I have been in the UK for 249 days. I have already submitted evidence for my UK address to the Home Office as part of my visa status, and I am also registered in the local electoral register. I thought that you have access to this information when I submitted my application. My question is where I should submit the evidence that I was living in the UK and what kind of evidence I should submit. I have UK Entry Clearance (including the stamp with the date I entered in the UK), rental contract, bank statement, and work contract. The email form does not have the option to upload documents and the email I received states "Please do not reply directly to this email."
