  • RE: Where to enter foreign income on the self assessment tax return

    Hi, Following up, (1) I was just on the phone with the HMRC helpline, who said the same thing as HMRC Admin 32 above. (2) HOWEVER, I also viewed the HMRC guidance here https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/guidance/check-if-you-need-to-tell-HMRC-about-your-foreign-income/start/about-this-guidance which states very clearly that if I have ANY foreign income, then I must fill out the foreign income section (SA106). I entered that I'm tax-domiciled in the UK, not a student, and resident in the UK. The guidance tells me to fill out the foreign income section whether I say that my foreign income is from "employment" or "other" [e.g. self-employment], it doesn't make a difference. So HMRC's own guidance is contradictory. If the guidance in point (2) above is wrong, it seems important to fix it quickly. And if not, big problem. Help?
