I surrendered an income protection insurance policy from Hong Kong in June 2022. The policy started in 1998, but I moved to the UK in 2021. There were no bonuses or interest on this policy, and I incurred a partial loss on all premium payments. The cash value I received was about GBP6,630, which is less than the total premium paid. I deposited this amount in the Bank of Hong Kong. 1) Do I need to report the loss from this insurance policy? If so, how should I report it? 2) Do I need to declare the cash value deposited into the bank of Hong Kong from surrendering the insurance policy? If yes, how should I report it?
