Are the Channel Islands and IoM considered as "abroad" from "the UK point of view"?
AFAIK officially they are so-called "crown dependencies" and not parts of UK and EU (not sure about NATO).
But I wonder how do "the average British people" feel/think about those territories - as "abroad" or "homeland"?
The tax example you mentioned above shows IMHO that the goverment wants to make people think that it's abroad
