Hi, the only incomes I have for the tax year 2022-23 are interests from savings (~GBP3,400) and dividends from shares (~GBP1,600) kept in some banks in Hong Kong. I do not have to pay any tax on these incomes in Hong Kong. Would you please advise : (a) whether I need to submit a self assessment; and (b) if yes, under which form/section/page should I provide these income figures. Many thaHnks for your help!

Hi CP,

Please note that UK residents who receive overseas income are required to complete a Self Assessment Tax return.
Interest in excess of £2000 should be entered in the Foreign pages (under 'Interest and other income from overseas savings'.
Foreign dividends under £2000 can be entered in the main body of the tax return (under 'Dividends').                  
Check if you need to send a Self Assessment tax return                                 
Tax Return notes          

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply earlier. I just realised that apart from dividends and interest generated in my bank accounts in Hong Kong, I also had some interest incomes (~£2,500) generated from my savings in the UK. As such, please advise which part of the self assessment tax return should I enter the UK savings interest? Many thanks again for your help.

Hi CP,
The UK interest should be declared on the SA100 at page TR5.
Guidance on how to complete the return is here:

Thank you.
