Tuczka v Revenue & Customs [2010] UKFTT 53 (TC) (01 February 2010)

Dr Tuczka was found to be ordinarily resident in the UK for the tax years 1998-99, 1999-2000, and 2000-01 because his residence in London was voluntarily adopted and for the settled purpose of employment, with sufficient continuity to meet the legal test for ordinary residence, regardless of his intentions to return to Austria.
