I'm trying to determine my residency status for 2014 taxation purposes.
Last Year (2014) I lived and worked in the UK for more than 90% of the year on a temporary visa. I came back to Canada Dec 12th when my visa expired. I plan on returning to the UK when it is possible, but immigration is going to take some time (about a year). I am getting married in the UK (my fiancé is British) and will reside there once I fulfill all the requirements for immigration.
Facts:
Was in the UK for 2 years
Did not have a residence in Canada during this time but maintained a mailing address
I have bank accounts in both countries
Passport and drivers licence in Canada only
I have limited belongings (small things that aren't considered assets) in both countries, but most in the UK
I have been paying taxes in the UK (whether I am suppose to or not is undetermined)
I was a temporary resident of the UK and while I plan on returning, I currently have no immigration status in the UK
I can tell residential statuses are a bit subjective… I still can't figure out where I stand. Factual resident, ordinary resident, deemed non-resident….
If anyone can help and has some confidence on the matter I'd be so grateful. Thank you! -Sarah
