Thanks for the heads up
As an ex-commuter very much agree with White Van Driver's comments about viability and choosing somewhere that has lots of direct flights into London.
I'm not involved in this anymore so happy to be corrected but with regard to tax etc the usual situation
in very basic terms was that you paid a reduced amount of UK Income Tax, exact amount based on the percentage of your duty time spent in the UK, but you paid full UK National Insurance (social charge on income).
The tax/social charge situation in your country of residence varies, local rules and taxtreaties with UK.
