In the tax year ending April 2023, I was a UK resident (under the youth mobility scheme visa). During this time, I was self employed with a company registered in the US. However, I worked remotely in the UK. Because I was a resident in the UK, I was told by a US tax advisor that my tax home is in the UK and I should be paying income tax in the UK. Therefore, this income has not been taxed in the US. While filling out my self-assessment form, I am confused as to whether I am considered employed, self-employed or should be reporting my income as foreign income. The tooltips suggest that all three apply but in all three sections, there is a place to report income. Since it is the same income, can you confirm that I should only be reporting the income number in one place? Thank you!

Hi,

You will declare this as self employed income. As no tax has been deducted in the US, you do not need to complete the foreign page. All the income should be declared in sterling.

Thank you.
