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 />
