Fixed Term Contract

it might be worthwhile for the OP to look at some non-IT forums. Perhaps merchant shipping as they spend a lot of time outside the UK. It won't provide all the answers but may have some better context than here.

Interesting and confusing link. The first examples are about working days overseas which makes me a definite resident of IOM. However, the later examples are people with no mention of whether they work which puts me as a UK tax resident.

I have an IOM address as renting a houseshare as opposed to hotels, so, I have a few bones to pick out. Connecting flights is a real ball-ache as my flights to France connect through Liverpool or Manchester. If just a weekend is 4 nights that is insane - Almost tempted to cut losses and sack this malarky off to be frank!

There is always the Flybe flight to Geneva........

There are worse places to go to!

It is very conflicting - This is on the iom government website which flips it around - with the double taxation I am interpreting this as a IOM tax resident status....

How long am I allowed on the Island before I become resident?
This depends on the information you give on form R25. As a general rule if you are visiting the Island temporarily you will become resident for income tax purposes if you stay for more than 6 months in any tax year. If you visit and decide to stay permanently you will be asked to provide full details of the date you first arrived and when you made the decision to stay. If you intend to move here permanently you will be classed as resident from the first day of your arrival. If you live elsewhere and make, or intend to make, regular visits which in total exceed 90 days per tax year you may also be classed as resident here for tax purposes. It is recommended you read the fuller details available in PN 144/07 or contact the Income Tax Division to discuss this as soon as possible.
