Foreign Pension

I received a pension lump sum payment which was paid in the Republic of Ireland. As this was paid in the Republic of Ireland, not the UK, should this be added to Foreign Income, not to 'UK pensions, annuities and other state benefits received’. I am a UK resident and PAYE worker. The pension is from when I worked in the Republic of Ireland.

Hi jameml,
The tax treaty with the UK and Ireland, allows the UK to tax your pension and lump sums.
If you have paid tax on this in Ireland, you will need to claim a repayment from the Irish tax authorities, so that you are not taxed twice.
Thank you.
