Starting Rate for Savers

I understand that the £5000 allowance diminishes by £1 for every £1 of “other-income” over the personal allowance. However this other income isn’t fully defined online just examples such as wages , pensions etc. HMRC Admin 25 gave a reply to a similar question. - “Posted 8 months ago by HMRC Admin 25 Hi Eric01 Kendall, The income would be any income which is not from savings, such as employment, self-employment and rental income.” What about interest on savings overseas. Eg I have interest earned in Jersey, which is classified as foreign income. Will this foreign interest reduce my £5000 Starting rate for savers allowance on interest earned in the UK . I realise I can’t use the SRFS allowance to offset the foreign interest. THANKS

Hi,

As the foreign income is interest, this would not come under other income for this purpose.

Thank you.

Thank you for the clarification
