    That doesn't make sense. If you are spending more than six months in the UK, you are resident for tax purposes according to my understanding, so if these people are spending just 4 days a week in the UK that is still 208 days. The limit is 186 days.

      Define 'a day'. Now ask a tax lawyer to define 'a day'.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        A couple of years ago a day did not include travel days to and from the UK. Gordon Brown changed this rule, so it is even more difficult to fulfill the 186 day rule nowadays.

            My concern is that Gordo says "recovery starting" and the spin machine goes into overdrive, taking with it papers like the Mirror, perhaps even the Sun.

            Before you know we have "recovery" because that's what the papers are saying, then Gordo calls a snap election and .... oh god

              This is the same peanut that sold all of the UK's gold reserve's at the bottom of the market.
