UK income - living in Turkey

[SuperSpurs106]

Hi

I have a client who has an investment portfolio here in the UK as well as a buy to let. His only income will be interest, dividends and rental income. All UK sourced. He is currently UK resident and domiciled.

He is looking to spend part of the year in Turkey, maybe a couple of months, maybe longer.

Would there ever be a circumstance in terms of length of time abroad (for example, more than half a year) where he would not pay tax in the UK but in Turkey?

TIA

Would either need to break UK tax residence which will only realistically happen if they are working full-time in Turkey for at least until the end of the current tax year and then to the end of the next tax year, or they give up their UK and relocate.
Beyond that non residence under the UK Turkey tax treaty will only likely be a relevant if they give up their UK home and become tax resident in turkey under domestic legislation, acquiring a permanent home in the process.

Ultimately, a few months in Turkey is unlikely to be enough to break UK tax residence. 6 months maybe but only if they're giving up their permanent UK home.
