State pension paid in euros

Hello. I have my UK state pension paid to my French bank account in euros. How do I know the amount in sterling to be able to declare it on my self assessment form? Thank you.

Hi Bibi,

As you pay your State Pension into a French bank account, it would suggest that you are resident in France.
If this is the case, you are not taxable in the UK on your State Pension.
If you are resident in the UK, you would need to phone the Self Assessment helpline, who would be able to confirm the amount in pounds sterling.
Self Assessment: general enquiries
Thank you. 

Thank you for your reply. I am resident in France. Does this mean I do not have to declare the pension on my self-assessment?

Hi,
If you are resident in France for tax purposes, your state pension will be taxable in Frand and not the UK.
Thank you.

Hi Yes, I understand that and have declared it here in France. I just wanted to check if I even had to mention it on my self-assessment form. For example, in France you have to declare all worldwide income regardless of what country the income is taxed. I'm assuming from your replies I do not have to detail it in my UK self-assessment. Thanks.

Hi
If you are non UK resident, you will only declare the UK income and as such there is no need for your to declare the French pension.
Thankyou.

Hello. I think there may be some confusion. I am a non UK resident but the pension I'm referring to is my UK state pension. It is paid direct to my French bank in euros.

Hi,

If you are non UK resident there is no need to declare the UK pension here. You can see guidance here:

Tax on your UK income if you live abroad

Thank you.

Many thanks. It is now clear to me.
