RE: Split year treatment
Hi,
After you have left the UK, you will need to complete the below form, to declare your pensions in the UK.
Double Taxation: UK-Australia (SI 2003 Number 3199) (Form Australia-Individual 2003)
The completed and signed form should be send to the Australian tax office for validation. They will return the validated form to you, so you can forward to HMRC, using the address on the front page of the form.
Please note for the future that this form will need to be completed everytime you commence a new pension, including state pension.
Thank you. -
RE: Joint savings account split & tax calculations
Hi,
No. The interest you are referring to is from your investment, making you the beneficial owner of this interest, which only you should declare. Interest the joint account generates is split 50/50 between your wife and yourself.
Thank you. -
RE: Claiming tax relief on pension contributions for PREVIOUS tax years
Hi,
Tax returns can be amended for up to 2 years after the due date of the tax return. For example 2021 to 2022 is due by 31 January 23, so can be amended up to 31 January 2025. Once the date has passed, you can no longer amend the tax return. Instead, you can claim Overpayment relief, if withing the allowed time frame.
To make this claim, you must follow the guidance at:
SACM12150 - Overpayment relief: Form of claims
Incorrect claims will be rejected. Please note that for 2019 to 2020, the last date by which OPR could be claimed was 5 April 2024. For 2019 to 2020 and earlier, all time limits have passed.
Thank you. -
RE: All share merger / acquisition - loss crystallisation event?
Hi,
You can claim loss relief as normal. If the EIS share were acquired by company B, within 3 year of aquiring the shares in company A, any EIS tax relief claimed will be repayable to HMRC. Losses can be claimed in your tax return.
Thank you. -
RE: Discretionary Trust tax paid
Hi,
If you already complete a tax return, the R40 is not applicable and you will need to submit an amendment to your return.
The trust page is at:
Self Assessment: Trusts etc (SA107)

RE: P85 Sole Trader in EU
Hi,

RE: CGT enquiry on sale of property in HKG beyond 9 months after immigration due to market issue
Hi,
Individuals who opt into the new regime will not pay UK tax on any foreign income and gains arising in their first four years of tax residence, provided they have been non-tax resident for the last 10 years.
This new regime will commence on 6 April 2025 and applies UK-wide. Individuals who on 6 April 2025 have been tax resident in the UK for less than 4 years (after 10 years of non-UK tax residence) will be able to use this new regime for any tax year of UK residence in the remainder of those 4 years.
This guidance advises that you cannot backdate the 4 years, which means the existing rules on remittance basis will apply for capital gains disposals arising in 2023 to 2024. If you bring into the UK, the gain arising from the disposal of the Hong Kong property, the gain is taxable in the UK as remitted capital gains.
In order to claim the remittance basis, you must complete a Self Assessment tax return, in which you would declare the disposal of the Hong Kong property.
Thank you.
