I live in UK since last 2 years and i have an NRO [NOT NRE] or non resident ordinary account in india. I already pay 30 percent income tax to indian government on any interest earned from fixed deposit held in that acount. 1. as i am in 40 percent tax bracket in UK, do i need to pay additional 40-30 = 10 percent tax in UK as self declaration? 2. Or, I have to pay another 40 percent tax to UK government and show the reciept of 30 percent tax paid to Indian governemnt to get some credit? what proof is required for this - could you please suggest entire process. in any case, do the total interest paid to UK and Indian governement can exced 40 percent?

Thank you. but this link talks about liability to UK tax on any remittances (amounts) of foreign income and gains that I remit to the UK (see below for what we mean by ‘remitted to the UK’). In this case, i am not remiting this interest to UK, it will remain in my NRO account. i may bring those in future to UK, but not this year or next year. so, do i still need to pay tax on this in UK using self declaration next year and i will get some credit i.e. 30pc in UK as i have paid 30pc tax in india already?

Hi,
As a UK resident, you are, by default, liable to tax on all of your worldwide income and capital gains. If you are non UK domiciled and choose not to remit income or capital gains to the UK, you have to declare this in a Self Assessmdent tax return. You can see guidance on residence, domicile and the remittance basis here:
Residence, domicile and the remittance basis: RDR1
Thank you.
