Unemployed, do I need to file self assessment for foreign savings interest of GPB 0.5?

I am currently unemployed with no income. Question 1: Do I need to submit a self assessment for my overseas savings interest which is less than GBP 0.4? Question 2: I also have UK savings interest which is around GBP 0.5, do I need to submit a self assessment? Many thanks for your reply.

Hi,

Given the very low amounts of overseas investment income you receive, you would not have to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return.

If my husband is currently unemployed and his only income is the saving interests earned is less than £10 from UK bank and about £200 from banks in Hong Kong (foreign banks). Does he need to file the self assessment tax returns?

Hi,

Yes he will as he is in receipt of foreign income.

Thank you.

Iam currently unemployed since March 2023. I am a dependant visa holder. Do i need to pay tax?

Hi
If you are in receipt of an overseas income / capital gain, then this should be declared in a self assessment tax return.  
If your world-wide income is below the personal allowance of £12570, then no tax is payable.
 

Dear Sirs, My son came to UK on 20 Sept, 2023. He stayed in HK till now and even to May 2024. He is now 20 years old. He has applied for BNO 5+1 visa. He does not have a job and no earnings at all. He has some bank interest in UK ( around 30 pounds). For forerign country incomes, he has also bank interest of HK$200 ( around 20 pounds). He does not have any other incomes.He will stay in UK over 183 days. In this case, does he need to make a self assessment for period 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024? Thank for your attention, best regards  .
