Guidance

Residence is one of the key factors you should consider when deciding whether, or to what extent, an individual is liable to tax in the UK. From 6 April 2013, an individual’s residence status is determined using the statutory residence test (also known as the SRT).

This guidance note covers the definitions which are important for the statutory residence test and includes references to the HMRC guidance on the test in RDRM11000 onwards (which was published in RDR3 prior to August 2019).
