    For years prior to 2025/26 this section was titled Residence, Remittance Basis etc.

    Use the Residence and FIG regime etc. section to enter details relating to your clients resident status, which is used for tax purposes.

    Description

    This section consists of the following tabs:

    • Residence status
    • Time spent in UK (only appears if not resident)
    • Personal allowances
    • Residence in other countries
    • FIG regime
    • Remittance basis

    The column in the grid on the Time spent in UK tab of the Residence, Remittance Basis etc. data entry window, is populated automatically where the Date of departure from the UK immediately follows the Date of arrival in the UK. This can be overridden by the user if the taxpayer was not in transit on the visit.

    If you are using the Summary section in the Time spent in UK instead, box 11.1 can be manually entered.
