Hi,

You will need to register for self assessment, to declare your taxable overseas pensions.  

You can regiser for self assessment at:

Register for Self Assessment if you are not self-employed

If you cannot do this online you can fill in the form at:

Registering for Self Assessment and getting a tax return

You can print it off and send to HM Revenue and Custom BX1 9AS.  If you are asked do you have a UK national insurance number, please select 'No'.  You will be asked to provide a reason why you do not have one.  You would just need to mention that you have just relocated to the UK, so do not have a UK NINO.

Thank you.
