Hi there just thought I’d update that according to HMRC if I am not resident in the UK for tax purposes I don’t pay tax in the UK if I work for less than 6 months, UK tax only becomes payable after 6 months, so my earnings are declared locally and I pay tax where I am resident.

HMRC don't use the term tax-resident, they use the term resident.

You usually have to pay tax on your UK income even if you’re not a UK resident. Income includes things like:- pension
- rental income
- savings interest
- wages

wow, what a patronising reply, not sure what your credentials are but clearly you know better than the 3 professionals I have spoken to just to be sure. Do you have personal experience of the same situation?

I think you're confused or perhaps you confused whomever you spoke to or perhaps the person you spoke to was confused or perhaps all of these things. Remember, any given person at HMRC can be completely clueless and that will not be an excuse when you make a mistake (this is why you should seek advice from a professional and not from HMRC). Anyway, tax is payable on your locally earned income where the work is done, not after 6 months. Tax is payable on your worldwide income where you're tax resident. There may be a tax treaty to offset double taxation of the same income.Comment

Yes, I have experience of contracting in several countries. You've had three people in this thread, all of whom have some experience of international working and taxation, tell you the same thing.
