HMRC Admin 19 Response

Hi,

The more ties to the UK that you have, the fewer days you can remain in the UK and continue to be not tax resident. If you only have one tie, then you are limited to a maximum 120 days in the UK. If you stay any longer and you become tax resident.

You can see the guidance thst explains those ties here:  

RDRM11510 - Residence: The SRT: The ties test: Introduction

Your husband would need to look at this based on his own circumstances.

We cannot provide financial advice, you would need to seek professional advice.

Thank you.

Hi jellycatfan,

If you work abroad as a crown servant, you pay Income Tax and National Insurance in the UK on income from your job for the crown as if you live in the UK. The rules apply regardless of your UK residency status for tax, no matter how long you are abroad, where you work or how settled you are. You can see guidance here:

Tax for crown servants, EU employees and volunteer workers abroad

Thank you.

Hi,

There is no procedure to claim back the reduced rate of VAT charged.

If the property has been empty for 2 years or more and a contractor completes renovation work for you then they would automatically charge 5% on the work, both for the materials and the labour. However, if you have completed the work yourself and have purchased materials yourself, then unfortunately there is no claim procedure for this.

There would only be a claim procedure if the house had not been lived in for 10 or more years. You can see guidance here:

Claim a VAT refund for a conversion if you're a DIY housebuilder

Reduced rating the renovation or alteration of empty residential premises

Thank you.

Hi,

The £50000 refers to completing a tax return. As a non resident you need to report the sale of UK property no matter what.

As it is jointly owned, all income and expenses will be split 50/50. You can see guidance here:

Report and pay your Capital Gains Tax

Thank you.

Hi,

It is covered under the 'other income' article.

Thank you.
