Thats correct dog... It is 90 days out of the country in a TAX YEAR... Which unlike the normal one commences on the 5th April... I fell foul of the tax man some 7 years ago and had to sell holiday home to sort him out and he still hauls me in for an interview every year....

They seem to have very, very long memories!! So all, be very carefull...
I always found a swift holiday in thailand or somewhere would sort out any short fall in time out of the country....
