Midnight Rule is an independent planning tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by HMRC, GOV.UK, the UK government or the European Commission, and it does not provide tax, legal or immigration advice. Day counts and assessments are estimates based on the information you enter, and the official sources above always take precedence. Consult a qualified adviser before making decisions.
