  • Reporting foreign income

    If I have foreign income from investments consisting of dividends and interest do I need to report this even where it is covered by the personal and dividend allowances and so will be tax free? The information I have read appears to indicate that I might need to report it even if I do not need to pay tax on it?
  • Trusts and periodic IHT reporting

    When a trust was established prior to TRS we understand that it did not originally need registering where the gift was below 80% of the nil rate band. At the point of periodic charge, does the 80% rule apply here or should all trusts be reporting for periodic charges (and any exit charges where applicable).
  • Authors and literary profits: royalties to person other than author & pensions

    A widow has recently inherited loyalties from her late husband that will continue for two years and we understand that they are taxable as miscellaneous income. Is this income "relevant earnings" for the purposes of making a pension contribution and receiving tax relief on it. We do not believe that the royalties are for a trading purpose but perhaps you can also clarify that?
