  • RE: Cgt when selling French assets that are tax free in France

    Hi,

    As a Uk resident, HMRC has the right to tax your world-wide income and capital gains and this is declared in a Self Assessment Tax Return. Even if the gain from the French assets disposal is tax free in France, it is still a taxable gain in the UK. You would need to use UK capital gains rules to work out the gain. You would need to workout the acquisition costs in pounds sterling using an exchange rate in use at the time. You would do the same for the disposal and disposal costs, using the exchange rate in use at the time.  

    Under the terms of Self Assessment, we do not provide an official exchange rate and the onus is on the individual to use a just and reasonable exchange rate for each acquisition and disposal.  
    You may wish to use the exchange rates from the tables at these links or from another source.

    Exchange rates from HMRC in CSV and XML format

    Foreign exchange rates and spot rates: 1 January 1989 to 31 March 2009

    There is a capital gains calculator below to help you work out the gain.

  • RE: Private residence relief

    Hi,

    A person, who gifts a property to someone, who is not their spouse or civil partner, will be subject to Capital Gains Tax. They may be able to offset some or all of the gain using private residence relief, where the property was their main residence at some point in time. If the person who gifted the property dies within 7 tax years of the gift, then the market value of the property at the time of the gift will be included in the estate for Inheritance Tax purposes. Where the gift was to their child, including adopted, foster or stepchildren) or grandchildren, the inheritance tax threshold can be increased.

    Please have a look at the guidance on Inheritance Tax at:

    Thank you.
  • RE: Late payment of bonus into pension - wrong tax year

    Hi,

    No.  The arising basis of taxation will take the date the payment was paid into the pension scheme to determine the relevant tax year and not the date you received the bonus.

    Thank you.
  • RE: NTX tax code

    Hi,

    The "NTx" tax code is correctly being applied, as you will be taxable on your UK employment income up to the date you left the UK. The "NTx" will ensure that your employer does not repay all the tax deducted from the 6 April 2023. You will need to complete a Self Assessment Tax Return after 5 April 2024, to claim back any overpaid tax prior to NTx being applied.

    Thank you.
  • RE: Bonus Received as a non-UK Resident in a split-year

    Hi,

    Tax is calculated using the 'arising basis' in the UK. The bonus arises at a time you were no longer resident in the UK and as such, would not be taxable on the bonus in the UK. For this reason, it would not be included in your UK tax return.

    Thank you.
  • RE: Personal allowance

    Hi,

    No, you are not.

    Thank you.
