I am currently resident in Switzerland, and have been for several years. I have a British passport. I am thinking of "moving back" to the UK, only so that my partner (non-EU) could live and work in the UK. However, I would like to stay in my job in Switzerland. Is this possible? If so, how much time would I have to spend in UK and how much in Switzerland? Would I have to reduce my employment to eg. 50%? Any thoughts appreciated.
You will become liable to UK taxes on your world wide income. If your in both countries about 180 days you will probably be OK. As the UK is not in Schengen, your days in the UK will be on record.
Thanks for your reply - would I have dual residency? Would the UK allow "family reunification" if I was working in Switzerland?
If you told them you were living in the UK, I doubt they would ask anything more. Do you have anywhere to live in the UK? If so you may still be living there & never really left as far as the Inland Revenue are concerned!
