Certificate of residence for dividends
I was in the process of completing the online application for a certificate of residence in the UK using the government gateway interface. I need the certificate because I have been taxed twice on the same dividend income (by both UK and Germany) and I want to claim back the tax from the German government (My tax residence is UK but the income arose from shares held in Germany). I have dividend income from 12 different German companies all of which were double taxed. However the government gateway interface only allows me to enter 5 companies. What should I do? Should I request the certificate having entered only 5 of the 12 affected companies? Should I write some aggregate amount into the box which is actually designed for data from one company only?
