Hi,
If the foreign currencies are held outside the UK, the interest would be foreign income.

RE: Tax on earned interest
Hi,
Banks notify HMRC directly and you don't need to inform HMRC. Unless you are already completing a Self Assessment tax return.

RE: Receiving Tax Demand Letters but Tax Account says All Ok - Problem is 2 Gateway Accts.
Hi,
Only one Government Gateway ID can be linked to Self Assessment. When accessing Self Assessment online, this can be done through the 'business tax account' or 'personal tax account' for the same login details. If the UTR number shown on the business account matches the reference in the penalty letters then it is the correct one.
Thank you. -

RE: Gift money from parents
Hi,
For tax purposes yes but any interest received would need to be split between the account holders. You may want to check with your bank though.

RE: Confusing wording in "Paying into registered pension schemes and overseas pension schemes"
Hi,
You should enter the gross payment to the pension scheme in box 1. This will extend your basic rate band, reducing the amount you pay tax at 40% on.

RE: Gifting Property
Hi,
If the property is jointly owned by your parents, they each may have a capital gain tax liability if they gift the property to you and or your siblings. If a gain arises, they each will have 60 days from the completion date to report and pay any Capital Gains Tax.
There is a capital gains calculator at:

If you own your home (or a share in it) your tax-free threshold can increase to £500,000 if: you leave it to your children (including adopted, foster or stepchildren) or grandchildren and your estate is worth less than £2 million.
