Record keeping<br />
<br />
Credit card and bank statements which indicate the pattern and place<br />
of your day by day expenditure.<br />
7.3 The above list is not definitive; no one piece of evidence will demonstrate<br />
the existence of your UK or overseas home with the requisite time spent<br />
there. <strong>HM</strong>RC will consider the weight and quality of all the evidence as, taken<br />
together, a number of pieces of evidence may be sufficiently strong to<br />
demonstrate your presence in a particular home.<br />
7.4 Where your home has changed from a holiday home to your home for the<br />
purposes of the SRT, the change in occupation could be evidenced by,<br />
amongst other things:<br />
<br />
<br />
utility bills which may show an increase in usage,<br />
changes you have notified to<br />
local municipal authorities, or<br />
the company providing your buildings and contents insurance.<br />
Working hours and location of work done - records<br />
7.5 Where your residence status is determined by the automatic tests relating<br />
to working full-time in the UK or overseas, you should keep information and<br />
records relating to:<br />
the split in your working life between the UK and overseas, particularly<br />
noting days where you worked (including training, being on stand-by<br />
and travelling) for more or less than three hours<br />
the nature and duration of your work activities - a work diary/calendar<br />
or timesheet is likely to indicate this. You may find that it would be<br />
beneficial to ensure your diary is sufficiently detailed, maybe reflecting<br />
hours worked and the nature of your work, for example reviewing and<br />
responding to emails, meetings, or filing travel claims<br />
breaks you had from working, for example between jobs, and why<br />
your periods of annual, sick or parenting leave<br />
time you spend visiting dependent children (those under the age of 18)<br />
when they are in the UK<br />
time you had to spend in the UK owing to exceptional circumstances,<br />
what your circumstances were<br />
what you did to mitigate them where that was possible, for example<br />
making alternative travel arrangements<br />
your contracts of employment, and documentation/communications<br />
which relate to these, particularly to curtailment or extension of these or<br />
other changes to them.<br />
