UK Tax Residency

« Back to Glossary Index

UK tax residency determines whether you’re taxed in the UK on your worldwide income or just on UK sources. Your residency is decided using the Statutory Residence Test, which looks at the days you spend in the UK and your connections here. Being UK tax resident usually means reporting all your global income to HMRC.
