According to the double tax treaty agreement signed between UK and Hong Kong, the pension received by a civil servant of HKSAR should be only taxable in HKSAR, does the person who become the tax resident of UK need to report such pension in the self assessment? Article 17 Pensions and other similar remuneration (including a lump sum payment) arising in a Contracting Party and paid to a resident of the other Contracting Party in consideration of past employment or self-employment and social security pensions shall be taxable only in the first-mentioned Party.

Hi winglam,

No.  
There is no need to report this pension on a self assessment tax return, as it is only taxable in Hong Kong.

Thank you.
