Not HMRC...HMRC this is incorrect, the DTA says it is ONLY taxable in the UK, therefore, there is no tax credit to claim in the US as it is not taxable there!!

Separate box for finance cost b/fwd in same area of return re interest costs, two boxes, two figures, one for current year 24/25 and one for b/fwd

If you are a sole trader one UTR covers everything (your sole trader info goes on a normal SA return together with anything personal), you need to speak to HMRC

One doesnt replace the other...both are necessary, a sole trader (self employed) must complete CWF1 first and then complete a self assessment return.

Not HMRC...its cumulative, 91 days in the year in any home in UK (if you had retained foreign home and spent 30 days there in tax year you would not have been caught under auto test 2 as you need to meet all 3 conditions)

Not HMRC...depends on type of trust. If not a bare trust then trust will be responsible for CGT on transfer to you. If bare trust then you are liable on sale...which then determines if/how you need to report. On £50k proceeds if it was a bare trust Id still register and complete a SA return to avoid any future issues/checks, but, you can use HMRC's "real time CGT reporting" if not registering

Not HMRC...your property liability is on £18759 (£31329 less £12570), therefore the interest relief is restricted to that amount, balance cannot be relieved against other sources liable (bank interest), but can be carried forward to next year (you need to make a note to include it as a b/fwd figure)

Not HMRC..."2nd job" is self employment...need to register as self employed and register for self assessment (done with one form CWF1 online). No VAT registration unless turnover (self employment ONLY, not including job) more than £90k

Not HMRC...if you are statuorily tax resident in South Africa and not the UK then you should be completing Self Assement returns, claiming non UK tax residence, be on a NT code in the UK and be receiving your salary gross (no UK tax deducted) and be paying tax on it in South Africa only, via South African tax returns, the year you left the UK would ordinarily be split. If you are statutorily resident in both South Africa and the UK then you need to study the Double Taxation Agreement more fully (by reference to the employment section and Statutory Residence) as to has taxing rights based on your individual position.

Not HMRC...if your account shows in credit and the repayment has not gone to "pending" prior to being made then the repayment request has NOT been actioned...it hasnt even made it to security checks (if that happens) and wont until the system recognizes it's been requested. If you have requested it (you can ask once, twice, hundreds of times) and nothing has moved then its likely HMRC has set a signal to "no repayment" for some prior reason and you would need to call them.
