Hello All,
I lived in the UK all my life until 2012. I was an IT contractor, I got a bit fed up with London and took up a full time job with a bank in Dublin in May 2012.
I paid all my taxes in the UK and my accountant wound up the company in 2012 and filed my final tax return for 2013 in 2014.
I was requested to do a tax return for 2014 but my accountant suggested that I call HMRC and explain that I was no longer living in the UK and had no income over there that I did not have to do the return. I called HMRC, told them the situation and that was that.
In 2013, I went to work for a prestigious IT company still in Ireland with no break in work. Finished company A on Friday, started new job on Monday. the new company was 39 hours a week and I had a little apartment which I lived in
I sold a little investment property in the UK that I had in late 2014, It had not been rented and generated no income, I checked the rules and as a non resident, I noted that I did not have to pay CGT and I do not think that I had to report it.
I am a bit concerned. I know I passed the SRT on the 3rd overseas automatic test, 39 hours a week, no breaks, spent about 15 days in the UK. What I am worried about is -
1. Have I done the right think not reporting the gain?
2. I don't have much evidence going back to 2014 apart from Irish tax returns and payslips to show I was in Ireland. A long shot is that I might be able to get the clock in and clock out records from work, but we are going back a bit here.
3. I checked my gov account to try and check up on this and it says I am still registered for SA although I have not had a reminder, bill or anything for years. Should I really have been submitting returns as well for all those years?
Thansk in advance for any advice.
