Is Foreign Income tax refund counted as income in UK

Hello, I received interests in my Indian bank account and tax is deducted at source by the bank. I file Income tax returns in India and also get refund back. My question is, when I do self assessment in UK, do I include the only Interest amount as foreign income and claim tax credit for the tax already deducted or do I have to add the refund amount to the foreign income

Hi,
You will declare the full amount of interest, but you can only claim Foreign Tax Credit Relief for any tax still paid. If you have had a refund, this must not be inlcuded in the tax already paid.
Thank you.
