The UK's Statutory Residence Test is a sliding scale: the more ties you have, the fewer days you can spend before becoming resident. The non-dom regime ended in April 2025 — replaced by a 4-year FIG regime.

Best for

Returning expats using split-year treatment

Common pitfall

Even 16 days can trigger residency if you have 4+ ties to the UK.

Exit / mitigation tip

Map your ties (family, accommodation, work, 90-day, country) before booking trips.
