Humphrey Appleby Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 More than 183 days then income earned worldwide is taxable in uk. Less than 183 then tax is due where it's earned. It's a bit complicated. The 183 day rule makes you liable for UK taxes on your worldwide income, but other countries can and usually will also charge you tax for any income earned whilst working in their countries. However, the UK has double taxation treaties with most countries, so provided you pay local taxes on those earnings from elsewhere, then you're usually not liable to pay again in the UK. The residency rule can also determine where you make social security payments. Within the EU/EEA, you only pay them to your main country of residence and are then exempt from paying elsewhere. I presume that you spend more than 183 days outside the uk. Yes, but I also undertake some work from the UK so in principle still pay taxes to HMRC. I've not actually got to bottom of whether NI contributions are still payable as the UK and Australia are supposed to have reciprocal agreements, but in practice do pay NI to ensure there will be no arguments about the state pension. The bottom line though, is that where you pay your taxes has nothing to do with nationality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
