Dear all,

I am not in automobile industry. Someone told me that I may get a good advice on this forum.

I have been working in Middle East for 8 years. Now planning to return to UK in summer 2021. I have read HMRC guidance regarding income tax in relation to UK expats and issue of tax resident and non-resident. If I return to UK in september 2021 and start working there, I think I will be considered as a UK tax resident (definition: anyone who is in UK >90 days and/or has worked for more than 30 days in UK is UK tax resident for that tax year).

Question is Do I have to file tax return? My understanding is that I have to do it and I will end up paying tax on my foreign salary from April - Aug 2021. Can someone confirm this please.

Many thanks and best regards,

Amin
