RE: Personal Paypal as company account
Hi,
Yes. They can be accounted for under the same business or trade. BIM20000 advises that:
"broadly, ‘trade’ can be taken to refer to operations of a commercial kind by which the trader provides to customers for reward some kind of goods or services. The extension of the definition to ‘ventures in the nature of trade’ allows for the inclusion of isolated or speculative transactions, although not all such transactions will be within the definition".

RE: Repaying a Retention Bonus
Hi,
The payment from Employer B would be taxable via PAYE when it is paid to you. The money you would have to pay back to Employer A may fall under 'negative earnings' and if it meets the criteria you may be able to claim a repayment of the tax through Self Assessment.
Please see EIM00800 - Employment income: calculation of net taxable earnings - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK onwards.

RE: UK freelancer - foreign income taxation
Hi,
The residence article between the UK and Greece, is article 2. For the majority of double taxation agreements that there are with the UK, article 4 covers residency. For Greece and some other countries, it is article 2. Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you. -

RE: ISA - stocks and shares ISA, mistakenly opened and contributed to 2 accounts this tax year
Hi,
Every tax year you can put money into one of each kind of ISA. The tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April. You can save up to £20,000 in one type of account or split the allowance across some or all of the other types.
Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs)
If you have more than 1 ISA of the same type, you can only deposit in one of them, up to a maximum of £20000.
Thank you. -
RE: Is savings interest taxed on accrual basis or cash basis?
Hi,
Interest ‘arises’ when it is received or made available to the recipient. The interest received on your 6-month fixed term deposit should therefore be reported in your 2023 to 2024 tax return.

RE: If no NINO and UK passport, how to apply for UTR and submit Self Assessment Tax Return
Hi,
The current timescale for processing the forms is 4 weeks. You can register for an online account and online filing even if you registered by paper SA1 form. If a paper SA100 is required they will need to request this by contacting our Self Assessment team once they have received the UTR.
