Nadhim Zahawi appointed chancellor as Rishi Sunak resigns Published: 5 July 2022 Emailed: 13 July 2022
Rishi Sunak, chancellor of the exchequer, has resigned from his position. The post has been taken up by Nadhim Zahawi.
The new chancellor, Zahawi, has been credited for the successful rollout of covid vaccines. He was appointed education secretary less than a year ago, after first becoming a junior minister in 2018. The 55-year-old is commended for his success and ambition, having arrived in the UK from Iraq aged nine, not knowing the english language.
If this position is maintained, the next budget will be delivered by Zahawi. Announcements of the budget will include important decisions that will affect payroll professionals.

Use the government's tool to know your UK residence status every tax year. Published: 5 July 2022 Emailed: 13 July 2022
A worker's UK residence status determines whether they need to pay UK tax on foreign income. UK residents will normally need to pay tax, whereas non-residents are not obliged to pay any tax in the UK for earnings received overseas.
The government website has a tool which helps workers determine their UK residence status. There are also some general guidelines below.
A worker is automatically classed as a UK resident if:
• They spend 183 days or more in the UK in the tax year
• Their only home is in the UK, they live there for at least 30 days in the tax year and it is available to use for at least 91 days
• They work full-time in the UK for any whole year and at least one day of that period falls in the tax year
A worker is automatically classed as an overseas worker if:
• They spend less than 16 days in the UK, or less than 46 days if they have not been classed as UK resident in the previous three tax years
