DH and I are thinking about moving back to the UK in the summer (i.e. after 5 April 2011)- having been here since June 2008. We have a question regarding income tax liability in the UK.....
If we move back before 183 days into the 2011/12 tax year, will we be liable to pay income tax on our earnings from here from 5 April 2011 until we move back? Is the clever way to move back 184 days into the new tax year and claim split year treatment?

The 182 day does apply but you need to include if you have been back to the UK during that time, you need to add the time on, Chris will advise you on all that. Good luck with it all.

Chris was here last week he is now back in the UK, but he comes over monthly, we use him and he is very good, his uk mobile number is 004419561000, he offers advise for free. He is the expert EW recommend.

mmm I think you need to seek advice from a UK tax specialist... But also see the document HMRC6 on HMRCs website for the current situation from their perspective.
