Personal allowance & Saving interest allowance

My wife and I moved to UK on Oct 2023 from Hong Kong via BN(O) Visa. I have a buy to let property in Manchester since 2021. I had paid the rental income tax to HMRC for the past 2 years. Since I am not residence in UK before, I don't have the personal allowance (12570 pound). Now I am retired and live in UK. I want to know whether I have the personal allowance when I return and pay the rental income next year (2023-2024)? For my wife, she don't have job now and she is now looking for a job. When will she have the personal allowance? Somebody say she need to state in UK for not less than 183 days and somebody say she should state for 2 and a half years. Besides, I want to know the amount of saving interest allowance? Please kindly advice me. Thanks a lot.

Hi
You will be entitled to personal allowances once you are UK tax resident, as will your wife.
The savings allowance is £2000.

My wife and I have moved to the UK since the end of Oct 2023. I paid the last 2 years rental income tax aboard. When will I be UK tax resident? My UK friend told me that I am UK tax resident when I move to UK. Is that right? My wife is now looking for a job. What about her? She will be UK tax resident once she have a job or she need to state over 183 days in UK? I saw from HMRC website the personal allowance is £5000? What for? Thanks a lot.

Hi, Wai Nang Chin
You need to determine this yourself from the guidance available. Please refer to Residence, Domicile and Remittance Basis Manual.
Thank you.
