Tax residence

STATUTORY DEFINITION OF TAX RESIDENCE

22 June 2011 The current rules that determine tax residence for individuals are complicated and unclear. A consultation has been published proposing new statutory rules that are easy to use and provide greater certainty for tax payers. As part of this consultation, the government is also seeking views on options to reform the concept of ordinary residence, which currently lacks a statutory definition. HMRC is considering the possibility of providing an interactive online tool to enable individuals to self assess their residence status when the new statutory definition is introduced. A prototype of this tool is available interested parties are invited to make use of this to assess how a statutory test could operate in practice. The CIPP Policy team will be reading the consultation in full to ascertain whether or not to publish a membership survey to gather you views.
