The most common question I received was "how many days can I spend back in the UK once I’ve left, without creating tax issues?" This video provides insights into what factors you must take into account and the potential number of days you can spend in the UK without becoming UK tax resident again.

A BIT ABOUT ME
I've been advising on international tax since 2014, and qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2018. I worked for consulting firms PricewaterhouseCoopers and BDO, before I started a remote international tax consultancy firm, Degen Tax Advisers, in 2020.

I work with online entrepreneurs to help them navigate the complex world of international tax. I work with e-commerce businesses, digital nomads, content creators, tech startups, crypto investors and many more in the digital space. Like my clients I'm pretty nomadic. I've lived in the UK, US, Japan, South Korea, China, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore. Currently I'm spending most of my time around Southeast Asia.
