  1. Section 4 'Tax when leaving the UK' has been updated to explain that because the UK is no longer a member of the EU, if you first worked for the EU after 31 December 2020, your residence status does change. For example if you’re a UK resident and you first worked for the EU after 31 December 2020 and you go to Luxembourg to work for the EU you become a Luxembourg resident.
