Private Residence Relief - Deemed Occupation
I got a job offer in the UK therefore my family and I moved from Hong Kong to the UK in May 2021 with BNO Visa. In the period of 2021 to 2024, my family and I temporarily stayed in relatives house as we cannot afford to own a home in the UK. In Feb 2024, I has sold the residence in Hong Kong which was my only home and never rent out. My wife and I jointly owned that residence. As we were absent from the residence in Hong Kong from May 2021 to Feb 2024 because of working in the UK, are we seeing as deemed to occupy it? Do we qualify for full private residence relief in this case?
