Saving Interest Income

Hello, I am a resindent in Turkey. I have couple of questions: 1- About interest income from savings account in Turkey. The wording in Double Taxation Treaty is not clear. If I am to earn savings interest income is it subject to income tax %0 - %20 - %40 - %45 tax as usual and the Treaty does not provide a fix rate. Is my understanding correct? 2-About coupon payments from Eurobonds which is like an interest income paid every six months from holding Turkish Treasury Eurobonds. Is there an exemption or is it subject to %0 - %20 - %40 - %45 tax as usual? 3-Is a debt to be collected in Turkey through an Debt Enforcement Office from a third party arising from a debt arising years before residence considered an income? Probably not but just want to make sure. Thanks. Can

Hi,

As a resident of Turkey and not the UK, you are only taxable on income and capital gains that arise in the UK.  If you have UK interest that exceeds £10000, you need to declare it in a Self Assessment Tax Return.
 
Please have a look at:

Tax on your UK income if you live abroad

Also the helpsheet HS300 about Non-residents and investment income

HS300 Non-residents and investment income (2024)

Thank you.

Hi, Thanks. My bad, I meant to say I am a resident in UK. However, I have arrived to UK October 2023, so since I have not spent 183 days in the tax year 22/23 or 23/24, I am not yet tax resident in UK yet. Could you reconsider my questions based on this facts. Additionally I greatly appriciate if you could tell me, how your answer tot he same questions will change once I become tax resident. Best Regards, Can
