The legal requirement is that they pay the super on top of the salary - but that applies to what they put in your contract not what they put in the advert. Indeed if your contract were to say $x inclusive of super that still wouldn't breach the legal requirement as that really dates back to when Super was first introduced so nobody had it mentioned in their contract.

could you clarify that please? If an advert mentions a salary range with no mention of super, then salary discussion and contract states $x inclusive of Super this is correct/legal I assume?

we had already given the bank all this info, plus our UK NI numbers, australian TFNs. Alans 'split year' scenario seems the best fit but the form the bank has sent doesn't take this into account.

Thank you for your replies, will see what our accountant says.

ok in that case we answer 'no' to every scenario. will ask professionals on monday.

I think now we may both be residents of the uk? From gov.uk site:

You’re automatically resident if either:

• you spent 183 or more days in the UK in the tax year
• your only home was in the UK - you must have owned, rented or lived in it for at least 91 days in total - and you spent at least 30 days there in the tax year

You’re automatically non-resident if either:

• you spent fewer than 16 days in the UK (or 46 days if you haven’t been classed as UK resident for the 3 previous tax years)
• you work abroad full-time (averaging at least 35 hours a week) and spent fewer than 91 days in the UK, of which no more than 30 were spent working.

What do we answer to the "only home" part? we had our home in uk but a rented home in Australia in same tax year?

hello hope someone can help.

we have a joint Australian bank acccount and have received letters asking us to clarify our residency.

For the 2018/19 tax year we will have lived in the UK for 98 days before moving to australia.

Am I correct in saying that we are therefore both non residents of the uk even though my husband still has an income from the uk?

(he does have an accountant to deal with the dual country income).
