I think you’d have a problem with UK tax, my colleagues that commute in and out say you basically can’t spent more than 90 nights in the UK. I know a colleague that works in the UK but lives in EU. He works part time to ensure he never goes over 90 nights and takes lots of unpaid leave… 14 on and off means a fair bit over 90 nights as I’ve thought of it
Exactly why I couldn’t get around the tax when weighing up China, the UK also look at ties like marriage/property when looking at tax not just days, but a post a while back mentioned the DTA article sub section they have been exercising along with others for some time to not pay the UK tax.
However, if it turns out like above poster says, I.e sub par pay and no commuting then I’ll sit where I am fat dumb and happy and make do with the money. They couldn’t pay my 100k a month to bring my family there.
