Foreign property income

I'm renting out a property in France. I never transfer this rental income back to UK, I use these funds whenever I'm back in France. I live in the UK and I'm a tax resident in the UK as well. So far, I've been disclosing this income on my self assessment and pay the UK tax on it as well. Just wanted to confirm if this is really necessary considering the fact that, this income is never transferred to UK?

Hi twdev,
Thank you for your question as you are UK tax resident you need to declare your worldwide income to the UK.
