What is a requirement for an automatic UK resident?

To attain automatic UK resident status, one of the key criteria is being physically present in the UK for at least 183 days during a tax year. This presence establishes a significant connection to the UK, making it clear that the individual has made the UK their primary base for that period.

When an individual exceeds this threshold of 183 days, they are effectively considered a tax resident in the UK, which has implications for their tax liability on income and gains.

The other options do not meet the established criteria necessary for automatic residency. Working part-time in the UK may indicate ties to the country but does not automatically confer residency status. Similarly, not having a home in the UK or maintaining residence in another country complicates residency status but does not meet the automatic criteria established by the 183-day rule.
