Hi, I was hoping someone from HMRC would have answered this by now, I wish to finish my return correctly, if someone could answer this please: 1. I must enter dividends received on my self assessment form. However I do not know if these dividends should go in the dividends from UK section or the dividends from foreign companies section. The shares in question are for a company that has its global HQ in the UK, but this company is also registered also as a subsidary of one with a similar name registered in Jersey, and the shares I have are traded in the on the New York exchange in the US. So does this count as a foreign or UK company for self assessment purposes? I just need to have this question answered then I can submit my sa return. 2. Secondly, the dividends are untaxed in the US, using their non resident status certificate, but there is only a box for taxed foreign dividends, not untaxed ones, so where do I report my untaxed ones on my sa form, if these ones do need to go in the Foreign dividends box? It says not to put them in the Foreign income section. Very confusing. Thanks for your attention
