Doesn't matter. Unless you have changed your residency status. If you're out of the UK for more than 90 days a year you can change your place of abode to the other country and will be liable for paying tax in that country and not the UK.
You must notify the HMRC and do this officially. If you don't and they catch up with you later they will demand all the tax, plus interest plus a fine (100% to start with working down if you co-operate, usually down to 40%). I've experienced it myself

You're telling us that
"I wouldn't bother"
and
"I wouldn't bother filing"
When the context of the former is referring to filing taxes, are in fact different things?
If you're not referring to filing taxes in the former statement, then what are you referring to? You wouldn't bother eating lunch? You wouldn't bother going for a walk? Which is it if it's not filing taxes?
That's your message, so you're clearly saying that "i wouldn't bother" is not the same as "I wouldn't bother filing" in the above context?
You're just more concerned here with being right than helping the OP, and in doing so you're confusing anyone reading this who doesn't know how the tax system in the UK works.

OP, just go and see the tax man yourself and get it all explained from The Man himself.
I personally went to one of their free day workshops and got all the info I need to know - no reason you shouldn't do the same.
Like has been said before, listening to tax and legal advice from your fellow forum members might be comforting, if they're saying what you want to hear, but how do you know who to believe?
Go see the tax man! That's what I would do if I didn't know for sure what my liabilities were.

Again with the assumptions.
You clearly haven't read the paragraph, or what I wrote. And are jumping to conclusions to justify your assumptions.
I couldn't give a sh*t about being right. You and others have assumed a meaning. You are now trying to imply I mean something else entirely, even after I have clearly pointed out my meaning.
You are not me... so don't assume I think like you. If you need clarification, just ask. Instead of jumping to conclusions, interpreting a meaning which fits with your way of thinking, then posting it as fact that I said something. When I clearly haven't - but others have.

Agree with you there BlueTurtle!
And now I'm moving on from this thread and I'm off to file my own self-assessment form online...once I've done my annual hunt for my TAX ID & password that is!
Happy filing to one and all!
