I left the UK on April 4 to take up a full-time job here in the UAE. I filled out the relevant tax forms and rented out my apartment in London. I was made redundant at the end of August and am still on the company's visa. If I return to the UK am I subject to tax on my earnings? What if I find a job and return to Dubai? I'm not clear on the treatment of my situation, especially as I was planning to stay at least one financial year. N A, Abu Dhabi
To be considered UK non-resident for tax purposes and thus not liable to UK income tax on overseas earnings, you must be out of the UK for at least one full tax year, April 6 until April 5. If you left the UK this April 4, you would have to be out until at least April 5, 2014, although you can spend up to 90 days in the UK during the year.

Three tips from La Perle's performers
1 The kind of water athletes drink is important. Gwilym Hooson, a 28-year-old British performer who is currently recovering from knee surgery, found that out when the company was still in Studio City, training for 12 hours a day. “The physio team was like: ‘Why is everyone getting cramps?’ And then they realised we had to add salt and sugar to the water,” he says.
2 A little chocolate is a good thing. “It’s emergency energy,” says Craig Paul Smith, La Perle’s head coach and former Cirque du Soleil performer, gesturing to an almost-empty open box of mini chocolate bars on his desk backstage.
3 Take chances, says Young, who has worked all over the world, including most recently at Dragone’s show in China. “Every time we go out of our comfort zone, we learn a lot about ourselves,” she says.
