SplitYear
UK residence & settlement · day tracker

Know where you stand.
Prove it.

Your UK status turns on two day counts: your tax residence under the Statutory Residence Test, and your immigration absence limits on the way to settlement or citizenship. SplitYear tracks both against your real travel, tells you in plain English where you stand, and produces the evidence to back it up.

Free for 30 days, then £34.99/year. Cancel anytime.

Why it matters

Your status turns on the details, for tax and for your visa.

One day over a limit can flip your tax residence for a whole year. One long absence can break the continuous residence your settlement depends on. Both are day counts with edges, and in both the burden of proof sits with you.

Tax residence is a maze

Day counts, the automatic tests, sufficient ties, and split-year cases all interact, and the edges are where people slip.

Settlement has its own clock

ILR, long residence, the EU Settlement Scheme and naturalisation each carry absence limits. Miss one and the qualifying clock can reset.

Both need evidence

"I think I was under the limit" is not a record. HMRC and the Home Office expect the days, with their sources.

How it works

From your days to a position you can defend.

1

Build your history fast

Scan a boarding pass, import from your calendar and flight emails, or add a trip by hand. Every import is a suggestion you confirm, so nothing lands without your say-so.

2

See where you stand

A plain-English answer, updated as you go: your tax residence under the SRT, and your position against each settlement or citizenship absence limit, with the room still left.

3

Prove it

Produce the adviser-ready evidence pack (the conclusion, the days, the citations) in a tap.

The differentiator

The evidence pack

Every conclusion comes with its receipts: the statutory basis with citations, the day-by-day ledger with its sources, your ties or absences and their provenance. A calm, printable document your adviser can rely on, and that HMRC or the Home Office would recognise.

  • ✓ The days against every limit, each cited to statute or the Immigration Rules
  • ✓ Verified against legislation.gov.uk, with provenance shown
  • ✓ Exported any time, for you or your adviser

Honest by design

A serious tool, honest about what it is.

It cites everything

Every answer the app gives cites its source, the exact statute paragraph or rule, so you can check the working.

Your data stays yours

Your days, trips and documents are yours. Nothing goes to a SplitYear server; if you turn on sync, it runs through your own private iCloud, which we cannot see.

Never a guess as a fact

Unconfirmed days are shown as unconfirmed; a provisional year says so. It never dresses a guess as a fact, or gives advice it isn't qualified to give.

Questions

Good to know.

Is SplitYear tax or immigration advice?

No. It's a tracking and estimation tool that helps you understand your position and produce a record. It gives general information about the rules, cited to source, not tax, legal or immigration advice. For decisions, confirm with your adviser. The app is built to hand them exactly what they need.

What does it cover on the immigration side?

The UK absence rules that decide settlement and citizenship: keeping your ILR or settled status, qualifying through continuous residence, the 10-year long-residence route, the EU Settlement Scheme, and naturalising as a British citizen. Each limit is shown against the rule it comes from.

Where is my data?

Yours. It lives on your device, and if you turn on iCloud sync it moves between your own devices through your private iCloud account. There is no SplitYear server and no account to create; we do not collect your data.

Does it handle the tricky cases?

Split years, the sufficient-ties test, exceptional circumstances, the permitted-absence exceptions for settlement, all tracked, each answer cited to the statute or the Immigration Rules so you can check the working.

Can I use it for a past year?

Yes. Closed years show as a settled record, with the days against the limits that governed them, useful evidence long after the year ends.

How do the free trial and subscription work?

SplitYear is free for 30 days, then it becomes a subscription, £34.99 a year or £4.99 a month. The trial is part of an auto-renewing subscription, so it renews into the paid plan unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends. Payment is handled by Apple, which never shares your card details with us, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings.

Do I need to be online, and does it work across my devices?

No connection is needed. SplitYear works fully offline, so you can add a trip or check where you stand anywhere. If you turn on iCloud sync, your record moves between your own devices through your private iCloud, so replacing or losing a phone does not lose your history.

Do I need to be a particular nationality to use it?

No. SplitYear is about your UK position, not your passport. It is built for anyone whose UK tax residence, or path to settlement or citizenship, turns on their days, whatever nationality they hold.
