Thanks for the reply.
Would it make any difference to my being able to claim split-year if my last day of emplyment was 31st March 2018, tax year (2017/2018), or, does it just matter that I returned to the UK in May, (tax year 2018/2019) which is a new tax year, ans so therefore I count myself as non-resident for tax purposes until May 2018?
Also, regarding treaty reliefs, my company overseas does taxes in a way that seems quite normal in China. Thay actually declare x amount, and pay the taxes for me, then the rest is a bonues, but basically I get a set amount and it is after tax. We don't even get payslips. I am going to guess that, based on that, I probably won't be able to claim treaty relief as I do not even get pay slips and I get paid a fixed amount with i tax taken off from my salary. The owner of this school said it comes off before I am paid, yet they declare my salary to be lower than it is, so THEY save having to pay too much tax.
Based on that, can I still get treaty relief? I presume not. What are my options?
Many thanks.
