RDRM13470 - Residence: The SRT: Annex D: International tax clarifications due to coronavirus (COVID-19): Second automatic UK test

An individual must consider the second automatic UK test if they had a home in the UK for the whole or part of the year. (see RDRM11330 to RDRM11360)

The modification to the legislation amends Condition B so that a day of presence in their UK home does not count if:

  • the day falls in the period beginning with 1 March 2020 and ends with 1 June 2020
  • on that day the individual is in the UK carrying out specified coronavirus disease related work, and
  • the individual is resident in another country for tax purposes
