RFIG30320 - Residence for tax years before 2013-14: coming to the United Kingdom: arrival process

This chapter only applies to tax years up to and including 2012-2013. From 6 April 2013 the Statutory Residence Test (SRT) applies. For guidance on the SRT please see RFIG20000 onwards.

Since 1 June 2010 the form P86 has been withdrawn and new arrivals to the UK will be integrated into HMRC processes by existing means; either:

  • the RTI process for new employees
  • CWF1 for newly self employed
  • SA1 registration process for customers who are not self-employed but who need to complete a tax return

Please refer to EIM42890 and PAYE81750.
