Hi, I have been filing my return online for a few years. I now have to declare £930 of foreign savings interest. Can I declare this in my usual online return or do I need to complete a paper form return please? Thank you!

Hi Antoinette Watt,
You can still do it online. You will need to tailor your tax return at section 3 to answer  'yes' that you have foreign income. 
Thank you

Thank you. Another question. I’ve had some trust income which I’m told I can only declare on paper forms. Is that correct? Thank you so much.

Hi Antoinette Watt,

You cannot file a Self Assessment tax return online using the HMRC tax return: for a partnership, for a trust or estate, if you lived abroad as a non-resident, to report multiple ‘chargeable gains’, for example from life insurance, if you get income from a trust, you’re a Lloyd’s underwriter or a religious minister.
Instead, you purchase commercial software to submit the return online, that include the additional section you need.  
You need to have a government gateway user ID and password to do this.  
There is a list of software suppliers at Self Assessment commercial software suppliers.

Thank you.
