About this lesson

You'll learn how to navigate the three-tier testing framework in the correct order: the automatic overseas tests first, then the automatic UK tests, then the sufficient ties tests—stopping as soon as you meet one criterion. Through Rachel, Michelle, and Catherine's cases, you'll see how factors like days spent in the UK, previous residence status, full-time overseas work, and personal ties (family, accommodation, work, and country) determine residence status. This is essential for TX (Taxation) as residence determines your tax liability and which income sources are taxable in the UK.
