One of the requirements is the employee should be domiciled in the UK. I have an ILR. Based on this, can I choose UK as domicile of choice?
I understand to claim expenses related to rented accomodation and houshold expenses, the US office should be a temporary workplace so that 24 month rule can be applied. My offer letter didn't specify a fixed term which makes the expected duration uncertain. Although in order to retain my ILR, I cannot be absent from the UK for more than 24 months. So my intention was to return back within 24 months. Any advice?Last edited by engineer123; 31 October 2013, 10:45.Comment

I think it is time for an accountant, the fact you got paid in US dollars, your ILR and everything is making this very complicated. I wouldn't think many people put this on their SA so it will shine like a beacon when you put it in so would say you have to get this right or run a high risk of it being looked at. Really not sure how they will take it when you are claiming tax relief against a US taxed job.
I am surprised non of our resident accountants have answered but either way time to get a professional opinion IMO.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI still don't personally agree the US job was temporary. It was your one and only employment and you had no end date on your employment so can't see how you can argue that the place you worked isn't permanent. In my mind whether it is next door or in the US you have one job with one location to work, that makes it permanent.
