Question from client:
Under what circumstances do I need to apply for a Certificate of United Kingdom tax residence?

Answer from Evershine RD:
You can claim tax relief in another country if you pay tax on your foreign income in the UK, and you have a Certificate of Residence (CoR).
You can only apply for a CoR if you are classed as a resident of the UK and there is a double taxation agreement with the country concerned.
