RE: Tax on interest on long term fixed rate bond
Hi rl11,
The legislation is at:
Taxes Management Act 1970
Taxation of the interest is described in link below and in particular 'If an individual is unable to withdraw or have access to the interest when it is credited to their account, or has a specific product such as a bond, the interest will not arise and therefore they will not be taxable until they have access to the interest.' if this applies to you then the interest should be declared when you can access it(maturity).

RE: Money transfer
Hi Pronin,
There are no Income Tax implications on the receipt of a cash gift unless the cash gift generates interest or dividends. These would then potentially be subject to tax.
Further guidance can be found here:

RE: Income from foreign NRE account
Hi,
We would suggest contacting the bank in India, to see if they can give you details of any interest etc for the disclosure.
If your records are not complete, estimate as accurately as you can any income or expenses that you do not hold a record of. Keep copies of your calculations as we may ask to see how you have worked these out.
If you are getting close to the 90 day limit, you could write to HMRC seeking an extension.
Make a disclosure using the Worldwide Disclosure Facility
Thank you. -

RE: Paid Voluntary NI contributions - How long is updating of the online NI records taking?
Hi Robin Gillies,
Your payment can be allocated during a phone call if the correct amount has been paid. If the amount you paid was not correct, details will need to be referred to a caseworker to allocate and current timescales show that this may take 23 weeks.
You can contact our National Insurance team on 0300 200 3500 and ask for your payment to be allocated, however please note that our lines are extremely busy at present.
Thank you.

RE: State Pension Contributions Living Abroad
Hi Orchard Exile,
Your CF83 application will be honoured from the date it was received by HMRC. So, if it was received prior to 05 April 2023 and you have ticked the box to request a shortfall of National Insurance contribution for previous years, tax years 2006-2007 to 2016-2017 will still be quoted on your shortfall (if you are eligible to pay them) regardless of when it is processed by HMRC.
There is nowhere on the form for you to state which shortfall years you want to pay as HMRC would quote all years that are available for you to pay, then you would contact the Pension Service to confirm if paying for any of the years quoted will increase your pension. This information will be sent to you once your application is processed.
Thank you.
