RE: CGT exempt Silver Britannias and sale abroad
Hi,
Coins produced by the Royal Mint, which qualify as legal tender, are not subject to CGT as the Treasury cannot tax the movement of legal currency.
This covers Gold Sovereigns, Gold Britannias, Silver Britannias and some other limited-issue Royal Mint coins.
There is no upper limit either. It doesnt matter where they are stored.
Thank you. -

RE: Business mileage from home to various sites
Hi,
Yes. For most employees, ordinary commuting is the journey an employee makes most days between their home and permanent workplace.
Contracts of employment must state the location or locations (i.e. addresses) where employees are normally expected to work. This obviously has a are significant bearing on whether your travel between your work location(s) and home counts as ‘ordinary commuting’, although the tax office generally look at the issue in terms of what counts as your ‘regular’ place of work.
By ‘regular’ they mean your attendance for work is frequent, it follows a pattern, and is consistent for all, or almost all, of the period for which you hold that employment. For instance, if you work in your company’s office if three days a week and routinely work at a customer’s premises on the other two, your mileage from home to both places counts as ordinary commuting and so isn’t claimable. If you start work at the same place every day, it’s a regular workplace. The HMRC test here tends to be if the employee spends 40 per cent or more of their working time at that place, then it is the regular place of work irrespective of the office address on the employee’s contract of employment.

RE: Difference between Tax calculation @ HMRC tax calculator & Self-assessment
Hi,
We would need to review your calculation to check why a balance is showing as due. If you submit your Self Assessment tax return and allow 3 working days to process and then contact HMRC we can review this for you. If an amendment is needed this can then be done.

RE: How to claim reliaf on withheld taxes paid on foreign dividends?
Hi,
You would do this on the SA106. you will also have to provide evidence to show that it was on the shares held in an ISA account as you will not be declaring any dividend income, just the tax relief.
Thank you.

RE: Loss Relief on EIS shares for acquired company?
Hi,
When an EIS company is taken over, the acquiring company may issue its own shares in exchange for the original shares; that is the shares which have attracted EIS income tax relief. This is a disposal of the original shares for CGT purposes even though new shares are issued in exchange. Eligibility for Share Loss Relief in respect of the new shares when they are disposed of is dependent on various factors.
Please refer to guidance below to review the specifics of their scenario to whether they meet relevant qualifying criteria.
VCM74000 - Share Loss Relief: individual and corporate claimants: individual claimants
VCM75360 - Share Loss Relief: individual and corporate claimants: individual claimants: more complex cases: shares received in exchange for other shares in a take-over: conditions for ITA07/S145 and S146 to apply
VCM75390 - Share Loss Relief: individual and corporate claimants: individual claimants: more complex cases: disposals of new shares (general case)
