If I am employed in the UK but WFH from another country, am I a UK tax resident?
<p>I have a standard full-time engineer contract in the UK with a company that is pretty big and has offices here and there in the world.</p>

<p>Due to personal reasons, I'm working from France, since all I need is a computer. My manager is fine with that, but we haven't really asked HR. And I have spent only 2 weeks in the UK this year.</p>

<p>Am I considered a UK tax resident or a France tax resident?</p>

<p>Edit: Im making somewhere between 50.000 and 100.000 pounds, I'm a french citizen, and I receive my salary on an English bank account.</p>

<p>Yes.</p>

<p>You will get taxed by the UK authorities (under PAYE), <em>and</em> be liable for income tax in France.  The good news is that you can offset any tax you pay in the UK against any liability to pay tax in France (under dual taxation treaties).</p>

<p>The French tax authorities are quite used to this - there are lots of French residents working in Switzerland.  (Of course, the authority in your <em>Department</em> may not have encountered this before, but they will have procedures for it).</p>

<p>I suspect the UK authorities are much less used to this - but they don't need to be.</p>
