UK Work-Days Log
Days with more than 3 hours of UK work, kept apart from presence
The UK Work-Days Log counts days with more than 3 hours of work in the UK and days of overseas work, for people planning around the UK statutory residence test. It is not an SRT result.
TL;DR — Key Takeaways
- →Presence in the UK and UK work are different counts. A day can be a UK work day when the work in the UK exceeds 3 hours.
- →The third automatic overseas test is one place that work-day total matters. Read HMRC RDR3 before you treat a count as an outcome. Domicyle states on the log that unmarked days are neither UK work nor overseas work, and that the log is not a Statutory Residence Test result.

How it works
- Open UK work days in your Premium dashboard.
- Mark days with more than 3 hours of work in the UK.
- Mark overseas-work days separately. Leave unmarked days unmarked.
- Review the UK work-day total against the 31-day figure used in the third automatic overseas test.
- Treat the screen as a log. It is not an HMRC determination.
Who it's for
Remote workers who need a year-long record of UK work days rather than a one-off HMRC questionnaire.
Common questions
- How does the UK statutory residence test treat a day with more than 3 hours of UK work?
- That day can count as a UK work day. It is not the same thing as a day of physical presence. Domicyle logs the two separately and states that the log is not a Statutory Residence Test result.
- Is the gov.uk SRT tool the same as this log?
- The HMRC tool is a questionnaire for a set of facts. This log is a running record of which days exceeded 3 hours of UK work. Use RDR3 as the authority.
