  • RE: Cashback Is Tax due ?

    I am sorry that does not help me much, this is cashback on purchases it is not an annual payment I only receive cashback if I buy an item via a cashback website, I don't have to subscribe or pay a fee to cashback website I just get cashback if I purchase item through the website. They are on off transactions. As for the mortgage cash back if I take out the mortgage and complete that is a one off payment. Please can you advise on these exact scenarios ? In the list of example they are closest to example 3 which says not annual payments as payment only received if further purchases made https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/savings-and-investment-manual/saim8050 Thankyou

  • Tax Relief On SIPP

    Hello I am self employed and have just opened a SIPP it is my first pension ever, I put £100 in and it says £25 tax relief which is pending it takes 8 weeks to be added. I know that when I do my tax return I have to enter the gross total for the financial year ( including tax relief and what I have added myself ) If I add money in February, March or 1st few days of April before end of tax year I will see the tax relief as pending in my account but it will not have actually been received. When I do my tax return do I include the pending tax relief or do I only include tax relief actually received as it takes 8 weeks to receive my provider states. If I do not include the pending amount do I include it when it is received the following financial year ? Thankyou I find pensions hard to understand so have only just opened one
