Dual Residency - Help Needed

[maths]

Theoretically as you are dual resident and Australian resident under the tie-breaker test in the DTA then for UK tax purposes you would need to file a Tax Return (disclosing UK salary from UK employer but no other non-UK source income), complete the Residence etc Pages and Employment Pages and claim the appropriate provisions of the DTA (HS302).

Practically speaking, ignore the HS302 and in the white space of Tax Return write something like "For 16/17 I was resident in the UK and Australia and under the tie-breaker test of the DTA am Australian resident only. Accordingly, I have declared only my UK source income, namely, a salary from my UK employer."

See how HMRC respond.
