    Is he a UK resident? How long will he be in the UK in each tax year?
    Gone ... or have I?
  • he's not a u.k resident he lives in dubai and isn't planning on coming back to the uk for more than 90 days in the year. he knows how much time he can and can't spend in the u.k, it was the sending money home tax implications we are concerned about.

    Sending moeny home has no tax implications. Its the source of the money which is important. As he is not resident, he is not liable to UK tax and can do what he likes with his money.

    I trust you have followed Gaines-Cooper & believe that HMRC would agree he is not UK resident?

    This is extremely difficult to argue. Please provide more information.
