Sorry just realised I put the wrong dates in my original post! Sorry if this confused anyone?
"My understanding of the tax situation is that as I am moving to Doha in January time therefore not at the start of a financial year,I will be still be liable to pay taxes on any wages earned out in Doha for the time period Jan 09 - April 2009. The reason for this being I will have been a resident in the UK for over 183 days in the financial year 2008-2009 and as such will still be classed as a UK resident.
However as my contract runs for a year and assuming I commence my contract in January do I assume this means I will not be liable for paying taxes on monies that I then earn in Doha for the period April 2009 to Jan 2010 on my return (if I return after the years contract)? I make this assumption as I will have been a UK resident for less than the 183 days during that financial year therefore making me a non UK resident?"
