Working abroad and being non-UK tax resident
People who go and work abroad often want to be non-UK tax resident.
If your family will continue to live in the UK, and you want to visit them for up to 90 days per year, then in practice the only way you will be non-UK tax resident is if you qualify under the 3rd automatic overseas test.
To qualify for this, you must work, broadly speaking, outside the UK for an average of 35 hours per week (there is a definition of how you calculate this), and spend no more than 30 working days or 90 days in total in the UK.
