Nice not to have to depend on low life agents 😊

Better to replace in home country than run into Issues whilst overseas then it’s a lot of grief.

In a car you will be fine for 3 months, on a motorbike you will get fleeced on a regular basis without an IDP, if you have a UK address apply on line through AA/RAC and get it sent to your home address and then send here by EMS

Amazing advertising a corrupt process, bit like the agents who offer to take driving test for you mind blowing

correct, but there is no other way they can enforce it , so it’s a logical next step which folks should prepare for - back taxes and penalties can be brutal. They will probably look at levels of compliance before deciding on how to enforce, thats why I am taking no chances, too much to lose, for the sake of filling out a few forms every year.

I have tax residency in UK as I earn income from property rental, even though I don’t spend more than 20 days a year there, s I have to file there and that also includes income from UK pensions. I am now obliged to file here as resident under new guidelines but can use tax paid in UK as a credit against small amount of tax due here, as I only remit 65k a month which also takes care of my visa requirement. Having bought here last year, we don’t pay rent so live comfortably. Everyone’s circumstances will differ.
