The Problem

Are you sure you’re not accidentally UK tax resident or overstaying your visa?

For expats, digital nomads, and international professionals, the risks are real and the rules are anything but simple.

The SRT is a minefield

The UK Statutory Residence Test spans hundreds of pages of HMRC guidance. Automatic tests, sufficient ties, split years; one wrong assumption and you’re liable for UK tax on your worldwide income.

The stakes are enormous

Getting it wrong means unexpected tax bills of tens of thousands of pounds. HMRC can look back years. And visa overstays can result in fines, deportation, or future entry bans.

Every country counts differently

90/180-day rolling windows, fixed calendar periods, visa-exempt limits, every country has its own rules. Juggling multiple destinations makes manual tracking virtually impossible.

Spreadsheets don’t cut it

Manual counting is error-prone and stressful. Most people don’t realise they have a problem until it’s too late, whether that’s an unexpected tax bill or a visa overstay penalty at the border.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

Common questions about UK tax residence, Schengen rules, visa tracking, and how the app works.

What is the UK Statutory Residence Test?

The SRT is HMRC’s framework for determining whether you’re UK tax resident in a given tax year. It consists of automatic overseas tests, automatic UK tests, and the sufficient ties test. The result determines whether you pay UK tax on your worldwide income or only on UK-sourced income.

How does the midnight rule work?

For UK tax purposes, a ‘day’ in the UK is counted if you’re present at midnight. So if you fly out before midnight, that day doesn’t count. Midnight Rule automates this logic using your flight times and travel data.

What is the Schengen 90/180-day rule?

Non-EU nationals can stay in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within any rolling 180-day period. It’s a rolling window, not a fixed calendar period, which makes manual tracking tricky. Midnight Rule calculates this automatically.

How many days can I spend in the UK without becoming tax resident?

It depends on your ties to the UK. With no UK ties, you can spend up to 182 days. But with sufficient ties (family, property, work), you could become resident with as few as 16 days. The app tracks all of this for you.

How does flight tracking work in the app?

You can import flights from boarding passes, add them manually, or the app can detect them. Each flight automatically records which countries you entered and exited, feeding directly into your SRT, Schengen, and visa day counts.

Which countries and visa types does Midnight Rule support?

The app supports visa tracking for popular expat and digital nomad destinations worldwide, including Thailand, the US (ESTA), UAE, and many more. It handles tourist visas, business visas, visa-exempt stays, and visa-on-arrival limits.

What are UK ties and how do they affect my residence status?

The SRT considers 5 ties: family, accommodation, substantive work, 90-day presence, and country tie. The more ties you have, the fewer days you can spend in the UK before becoming tax resident. Midnight Rule tracks all five.

Is my data secure?

Yes. All your data is stored on your device and synced only via your personal iCloud account. There is no server-side storage, no tracking, no ads, and no data selling. Your travel data never leaves your control.

Can I export my records for my accountant?

Absolutely. You can export detailed travel records and PDF reports that your accountant can use for tax return preparation or HMRC correspondence. All dates, day counts, and test results are included.

How much does Midnight Rule cost?

£9.99 per month or £49.99 per year. There’s a 14-day free trial so you can explore the full app before committing. That’s less than the cost of one hour with a tax advisor.
