Why does the UK tracker use 6 April to 5 April?
The UK Statutory Residence Test applies by UK tax year, which runs from 6 April through 5 April, not by calendar year.

What to do
- Choose 6 April as the report start and 5 April as the end.
- Include prior tax years when the SRT question needs them.
- Review split-year treatment separately with official guidance.
Why this matters
A January-to-December export can split the relevant SRT period incorrectly. Select the correct tax-year boundaries and retain prior-year data needed for automatic tests and ties.
The trip record should describe what happened. The tracker then applies its configured calculation. Keep documents for disputed boundary dates and avoid changing accurate history only to produce a preferred result.
Check the rule behind the answer
Jurisdictions do not all define a presence day in the same way. Read UK Statutory Residence Test for the rule context and cited sources used by this answer. Official guidance and advice for your facts take priority over an app display.
Before you rely on the total
- Check the country, entry date, departure date, and local time where relevant.
- Resolve duplicate, missing, overlapping, or unreviewed GPS-assisted records.
- Confirm the tracker period, countries, threshold, and tracking direction.
- Export a fresh record after any correction that changes a previously shared total.
When to ask a professional
Ask a qualified tax or immigration professional when a count is close to a legal threshold, an exception may apply, records conflict, or a late correction could affect a filing, permit, or overstay. Jetseen organizes dates and calculations. It does not decide your legal status.
