Yes it is automtically split 50/50.
Thank you -
RE: Company Loan Interest
Hi
This is foreign interest and should be converted to pounds sterling, so that it can be declared in the self assessent tax return.
If the untaxed foreign interest is below £2000.00, you can declare this in box 3 of SA100, otherwise, it will need to be declared in SA108 (foreign).
The savings rates would apply to the foreign interest as well as UK interest, as advised at Tax on savings interest.
Thank you -
RE: Foreign capital gain
Hi Overseas Taxpayer
All parts of the foreign capital gains calcultion must be in pounds sterling, using the exchange rate in place at the time of acquisition and disposal.
It can be the daily closing rate as reported in national newspapers or the official exchange rates used by HMRC.
You are free to use the monthly, annual avarage or the spot rate. These can be found at The official exchange rates here

Thank you
