Hello HMRC, I was self-employed in HongKong before I moved to the UK in 2023. After I moved to the UK becoming a UK resident, I still received about £2,000 in year 2023 as a whole which was the commission from my self-employment business in Hong Kong. I have already informed Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department and they have done an assessment and issued a tax return for me in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, I understand that now I also need to file a Self Assessment tax return in the UK. My question is what to do related to this income. Do I need to report this income to HMRC and pay UK tax on it? If yes, which forms should be filled out by me to tell HMRC about this income? Thanks!

Hi,
Yes you need to report this as foreign income and you can claim foreign tax credit relief for the tax paid in Hong Kong -
Tax on foreign income
Thank you.
