  • RE: Foreign property income

    Hi admin, Thanks for reply. I would like to double confirm on this. I have only 1 (one) oversea property rented out, - income = GBP 2,000 - foreign tax paid = GBP 600 - use property income allowance of GBP 1000 - i.e. taxable income = GBP400 I have 0 (zero) UK property with income I tried to follow the instruction to fill in both "Foreign SA106" and "UK Property SA105" pages, by putting the same income i.e. GBP2,000 under the "property income (field 20 in the physical form)" , however when I check the calculation, it has "double counted" the 2,000 i put in Foreign and UK Property Page. Would you kindly double confirm if I should delete the UK property page if I have 0 UK property? Or advise me if I have put a wrong number in the UK property page in this case? Thanks a lot.
  • Foreign property income

    Hi there, I have only one foreign property rental income (more than GBP1000) and I will fill in the foreign page, but I am not sure if I should "also" fill in the UK property page As the SA105 note stated below....the last sentence a bit not clear , does it mean if i have foreign property income more than GBP1000 then i also need to fill in UK property page? Thanks a lot Fill in the 'UK property' pages if you receive: • rental income and other receipts from UK land or property• income from letting furnished rooms in your own home• income from furnished holiday lettings (FHL) in the UK or European Economic Area (EEA)• premiums from leasing UK land• inducements to take an interest in letting a property (a reverse premium) of over £1,000 (including any income from foreign property reported in the ‘Foreign’ pages).

  • Handling of oversea income & tax if different from UK tax period

    Hi, I have a question regarding oversea income / tax, I have an oversea property with rental income in Malaysia (MY), the tax period of MY is Jan-Dec i.e. full year 2023. I will report my rental income of whole 2023 in MY and will pay the tax in 2024 second half of the year. When I report my income in UK self assessment, how should I report this income and oversea tax relief? 1. Should I report my oversea income following the UK tax period i.e. Apr 23 - Apr 24 regardless the corresponding oversea country tax period? 2. Although I know the oversea tax amount to be paid when I report the self assessment for 2023/24, the tax is actually pay within UK 2024-25 tax period, should this tax relief fall into which self assessment ? 2023/24 or 2024/25 ? 3. In term of rental income deductible expense, the type of expense allowed may not align in MY and UK, if the expense in not allowed to be deducted in MY but allow in UK, can I still deduct this amount in my income when report in self assessment in UK? Thanks a lot.
  • RE: Self assessment with foreign income but no need pay tax

    Hi there, Thanks for the reply. Actually I am using the tool provided by HMRC to check if I need to return a self assessment. The Question 6. of the tool asked "Do you need to pay tax on any of the following?" -Income from a trust -Income from outside the UK -£2,500 or more in commission or cash in hand payments -A payment or charge on a private pension -A Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) grant -None of these I would like help to clarify "need to pay tax" in this question means 1) "taxable income" of those followings i.e. if I have 10GBP of foreign income, I still need to ans yes in this question. Or 2), it really means "need to pay tax as the result" i.e. the taxable amount of those item is above the threhold of 0% tax rate tier? Thanks for your help
  • Self assessment with foreign income but no need pay tax

    Hi, I am retired with little forign income (e.g. 3,000 GBP a year) which will not need to pay tax. I use the HRMC web site to check if I need to do self assessment and the question 6. Do you "need to pay tax" on any of the following? Should this answer "no" if the forign income is small enough that will not trigger a UK tax? Thanks
  • Amount saved in pension in excess of the annual allowance

    Hi there, My pension admin informed me the input of the pension saved amount of this year has an exceed 380GBP to the annual allowance (i.e. input as 40,380, exceeded 380 to the 40,000 allowance). The admin also informed me my previous year did not used the full 40,000 allowance, and thus it can be carried forward to this year. May I ask, do I need to file a self assessment in this case to inform HMRC of this 380 excess, and which part should I fill in if I want to use my carry forward of previous year to cover this excess? Thanks a lot for your help . Regards,
