Thanks for the reply. You mentioned that "If you remit this income to the UK, you will need to declare it on your tax return..." Does this mean that if I don't remit the rental income from Japanese properties, I do not need to declare that income in the UK and no income tax will be incurred in the UK?

hi I became a UK tax resident in the tax year 2021/22. I have an employment for a Hong Kong-domiciled company (the company generates its revenue solely outside the UK). I own a few properties in Japan for investment which I pay property tax in the country. I have filed my tax return for 2021/22 in the UK on remittance basis through self assessment. I note that the rental income from the Japanese properties are taxed in the UK. While I cannot remit my salary to the UK, I wonder if I can remit the rental income from the Japanese properties to the UK without any further tax implication. Thanks in advance.

I set up a company which then acquired several properties in 2020 and 2021. I lent the capital to the company to purchase the properties and recorded the borrowing as director's loan. I charge no interest on the director's loan. Now the company is generating income from rent, and I plan to retrieve some money from the company. If the company repays me the loan, would there be any tax implication for the company or me of this action? Thanks
