Hi,

You will show the sale as if it is a UK property that you sold so that the charge appears in the calculation. At the tailor your return section, you need to answer yes to the question, Do you wish to claim Foreign Tax Credit Relief on Capital Gains. This the allows you to enter the tax paid in USA (converted to sterling).

Thank you.

Hi,

Yes, you can.

Thank you.

Hi,

The personal savings allowance is still £1000 but as the total income is below the £17570 then she would qualify for the starter rate and that is the £5000 you are referring to.

Hi,

Please refer to below and the online checker tool.

Self Assessment tax returns

Thank you.

Hi,

A Self Assessment Tax Return will be required every year from 6 April 2022 onwards. Your limited company will continue to be taxed in Hong Kong and should not appear on your tax return, but your salary will be taxable in the UK, via a Self Assessment Tax Return. You would declare the overseas employment income and tax deducted on SA102 and SA106.  You can claim a foreitgn tax credit for tax paid overseas on you employment income.

Thank you.

Hi,

PTM045000 would suggest this payment is an 'authorised payment' and is taxable.  

PTM045000 - Contributions: refunds of contributions

For more information, I would suggest contacting the pension schemes team for more advice.

Non-UK residents: Income Tax and Capital Gains

Thank you.

Hi,

On arrival in the UK, you will need to take the residency tests, to determine whether your are considered resident for tax purposes for the full tax year. If you are, then you will need to determine if split year treatment applies to you. If it does, you would claim split year treatment on SA109 and only declare your income and gains from the date you arrived in the UK, in a self assessment tax return (SA100).  Income and gains for the period before you come to the UK, would not be taxable here.

Any foreign interest that is taxable in the UK, is declared as foreign interest on SA106, where you can declare any foriegn tax paid on the interest and claim a tax credit.

Personal allowance are allowed automatically, where you are considered resident in the UK for tax purposes for the full tax year and split year treatment does not apply. All your world wide income in the tax year would be declared in the tax return.

If the capital in the foreign savings account arises in tax years where you are not resident in the UK, then it would not be taxable, if remitted to the UK and does not need to be declared, only the interest it generates would need to be declared.

If split year treatment applies, then only the income and gains arising in the period you are resident in the UK would need to be declared.

Transferring capital from a foreign account  to a UK account would not be taxable, unless all or part of the capital arise from income or gains the the tax year you arrived in the UK.

This is still the same even if you are not resident in the UK at the time of the transfer and become resident part of the way through the tax year.

When HMRC calculates how much tax you need to pay, it looks at your non-savings income first, followed by your savings income, and then your dividend income.

UK tax legislation requires income and gains to be taxed in a fixed sequence.  This sequence is 'non' savings income, savings income, dividends, chargeable event gains and followed by capital gains.

Non savings income is the likes of 'employment' income, 'self employment' income, 'partnership' income and 'property' income.  next comes 'savings income', which is tax and untaxed interest, which is always followed by dividends.

Thank you.

Hi,

You might be looking at split year treatment. If you qualify for split year then you only report any foreign income for the UK part of the year.

RDRM12000 - Residence: The SRT: Split year treatment

If you do not qualify then you will need to report all your foreign income to the UK.

Tax on foreign income

The guidance at RDRM12150 at GOV.UK will help you work out if split year treatment applies. A tax return may be required

Thank you.
