Can I legally avoid income tax if I live in several countries?

SE20

I've left the UK and am now mainly living part in Ireland, part in France. My income is from a UK company pension, and from the rent on my house in the UK. Is there a way I can legally avoid paying income tax in all of UK, Ireland and France?

Each of Ireland and France seem to have a 183-day rule whereby if you're resident for more than 183 days then you get taxed. However, if I arrange to spend less then 183 days in each country (I'd spend several weeks a year in other countries), can I avoid every country's income tax?

You can minimize your tax but not avoid it completely. You will pay tax on your UK income in the UK but if it's under 183 days the income earnt elsewhere will be ignored. Same with ireland and france.

Am I still required to pay UK tax on my income from the UK even though I no longer live there (although still a UK citizen)?

All income arising in the UK is subject to UK income tax, no matter where you live. There are a couple of special cases for non-residents, notably for some savings interest and UK gilts coupons.
