Thank you for the reply.
The problem is, the Residency Test seems to assume that I already know how many days I'll be spending in the UK in the current tax year (2017/18) and the ties I will maintain with the country - such as accommodation. I my case this is not something I can be sure of because I simply don't know how long I'll be abroad for or whether I'll be coming back to the UK at all. It might be the case that I'll stay in Poland for the whole tax year, in which case I would be classed as non-resident in the UK and liable for Polish tax. But, in order to pay taxes in Poland while working as a freelancer for a UK company I have to register as self-employed here and de-register in the UK. I would only enter the Polish system from the date of the registration, I would not be able to pay taxes owed before then and as UK non-resident I wouldn't be liable for UK tax either. I really have no idea what to do.
