Withhold Tax Relief

I’ve been asked to invoice a client in Saudi Arabia, and have been warned that my payments are subject to 5% withhold tax. Does anyone know if I can claim back the 5% withhold tax on my tax return?

Hi AmySat07,

The payments from your Saudi Arabian client are included in your self employed turnover, so that they are taxed as part of your self employment gross turnonver.  
You would also complete SA106 and declare the foreign element of your gross turnover and the tax deducted.  
You can then claim a foreign tax credit relief for the withheld tax, so that you are not taxed twice on the same income.

Thank you.
