i take it you don't have ILR yet ?
if not there are no set number of days you have to be in the UK to be granted ILR, but the UK is suppose to be your home.
some people have spent maybe a year or so out of the UK because of work and still got ILR, but part of it i think is on the discretion of the case worker.

Yes, but don't forget there are strict residence requirements for applications for British Citizenship.

General residential requirements for spouses:-


have been resident in the United Kingdom for at least three years (this is known as the residential qualifying period); and
have been present in the United Kingdom three years before the date of your application; and
have not spent more than 270 days outside the United Kingdom during the three-year period; and
have not spend more than 90 days outside the United Kingdom in the last 12 months of the three-year period; and
have not been in breach of the immigration rules at any stage during the three-year period

Yep, this forum is a great online community :xxgrinning--00xx3:
We always encourage members to share their knowledge on anything and everything.

Regarding Tax, the general rule of thumb is to consider paying tax at the source of income.
Of course there are always exceptions and double taxation agreements etc.
so you'd need to be more specific about the country source of income.
Sometimes it's quite tricky. Be careful, no-one likes tax surprises.
Unless it's a refund :xxgrinning--00xx3:

As joe said, there's no restrictions on absences for ILR

It's only for citizenship.
HO will not give dispensation even you ask/inform them

Rules is rules:doh

will you be living with your husband while your working out of the uk ? like i said the UK is suppose to be your home and it could be at the discretion of the case worker if you are granted ILR so don't automatically expect it to be..
