RE: Moving abroad
Hi,
Each tax year is reviewed separately. If you have paid the correct amount of tax in the previous years, there would be no refund due. The P85 would include your P45 from the employment you left, so that any overpaid tax can be calculated.

RE: Selling property in India and bringing proceeds to UK
Hi,
You may have Capital Gains Tax to pay in the UK. You will need to work out if there is a gain, using the UK rules for calculating capital gains.
The acquistion and disposal costs need to be converted to UK pounds sterling, using a just and reasonable exchange rate. 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.
For your convenience, there are exchange rates at:
National Archives: Exchange rates from HMRC in CSV and XML format
and for older rates at
National Archives: Foreign exchange rates and spot rates: 1 January 1989 to 31 March 2009
You are free to use any of the supplied rates or one of your own choosing.
There is a calculator below, to help you work out if there is a gain.
Tax when you sell property
You are required to report the disposal of the foreign property on a Self Assessment tax return, even if there is no tax to pay.
If there is tax to pay, you can claim a foreign tax credit of up to 100% of the Indian tax paid.

RE: HS302
Hi,
You cannot use the HMRC version of the online tax return, if you intend to submit the residence section. Instead, you will need to buy a commercial tax return.
You can find a list of commercial tax returns below to choose from.
