Taxation: Domicil

Question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what guidance has HMRC provided on whether an individual can be non-resident for tax purposes in the UK if they are on the UK electoral roll as a domestic, non-overseas elector.

Answer

An individual’s tax residence status is determined by the Statutory Residence Test. This is a year-on-year test, with each year being considered individually. The UK electoral roll has no bearing on UK tax residence and therefore HMRC has provided no guidance on this matter.
