Hello, I am a UK citizen have a few questions regarding taxation status when living abroad and freelancing for companies based in the UK.
I have been permanently living abroad in south america for the past 10 years and have no property in the UK either.
I visit the UK every 2 years during Xmas to see family, normally I stay for around 2 weeks before returning, however last Xmas 2017 looking at my flight dates I noticed that I stayed for exactly 16 days, did this change my tax status?
From time to time I do some freelance work for a company in the UK for which i send an invoice for payment and this year I earned around £3000 or less.
Years ago when I lived and freelanced in the UK I registered on the HMRC website as a sole trader and completed my tax returns via the self assessment website, however being that I live abroad and only freelance from time to time I was wondering how i should be classified for tax purposes in the UK for this kind of work.
If I am not tax resident should I pay capital gains tax for the work done for a company based in the UK?
Many thanks.
