  • RE: BNO Visa HK to UK

    Hi

    Once you move to the UK, you will become taxable on your world-wide income in the UK.  
    If you transfer your overseas savings to a UK bank account, you would only be taxable on the interest that the capital will generate.
    Whether that is for the full tax year or from the date you arrived in the UK, will depend on the outcome of the statutory residence tests.  
    Guidance on the tests can be found at RDR3 Statutory Residence Test.

    Thank you
  • RE: Rental income from property in Portugal

    Hi

    The UK/Portuguese double taxation agreement, gives Portugal the first opportunity to tax your Portuguese property rental income and capital gains.  
    As a UK resident, using the arising basis on your world-wide income (which is the default taxation method), HMRC would have the right to tax your overseas property income and capital gains.
    As Portuguese nationals, resident in the UK, you would be considered to be resident and not domiciled in the UK (if resident in the UK for less than 16 years).  
    This situation allows you claim the remittance basis, instead of the arising basis for calculating tax liability on your world-wide income.  
    The remittance basis would mean that you only declare your UK income and capital gains and any overseas income or capital gain, brough into the UK, on your self assessment tax return.  
    The remittance basis is not always the better option, as you lose your personal tax allowance and may also incur the remittance charge.  This could result in more tax being payable using the remittance basis instead of the arising basis.  
    Have a look at
    Residence, domicile and the remittance basis: RDR1
    for more information.
    If you choose the arising basis, you will need to declare the gross profit and expenses in your tax return.

    Thank you
  • RE: CGT On Probate

    Hi

    Any gain would be on the property only and you need to look at what it sold for before any costs are deducted as this is then taken into account when working out the gain.
    As you are the executor, it is you who is liable for the CGT as the beneficiaries just receive any funds that are then distributed so there is only 1 CGT allowance due.

    Thank you
