Thank you.

I have lived overseas for the past 17 years and am not a UK citizen but was working at a law firm and received a well earned and rewarded pension only to be shocked to discover that almost RM15k was deducted at source and coincidentally I was born on the 6th April and tuned 55 last year entitling me to same. Am I right in believing that I need to complete a Form 43 and return to you for processing with the proof of what I received. Can I send the form via email and if so to which email address. How long will it take to process as I despertaley need the money during these high living costs days Thank you.

Hi,

As you are not resident in the UK, you will need to check the double taxation agreement between your country of residence and the UK, with regard to pensions, to see if they are only taxable in your country of residence, article 19. The treaties can be found here:

Tax treaties

You will need to complete a DT-individual form, which can be downloaded here:

Double Taxation: Treaty Relief (Form DT-Individual)

You should complete this form and send it to your local tax office in your country of residence. The foreign tax authority will need to verify the form by signing and stamping it. They will return the form to you, so that you can then send it to the following address:

HM Revenue and Customs
Pay As You Earn and Self Assessment

United Kingdom

Thank you.
