  • RE: Government Bond Interest

    Dear Sir, Thank you for your reply and understood you can't advise the specific question. So, I break it to simple questions. 1) Lost in DDS investment, should it report in self assessment? 2) gain or lost, it counts for whole tax year or each deal? best regards

  • RE: Government Bond Interest

    Dear sir, I understood it is DDS and tax as income. The questions I still need to clear before return assessment as follwoing 1) regarding the previous sample, Is calculation corrected? (I bought on Dec/2022 US treasure bond Face value of USD100,000 by cost of USD98,222. and equal to GBP 86,684 (exchange rate of @1.1331 by Oct/2022 monthly average rate). It's maturity dated 15 Nov/2023 and redeemed USD100,000 and equal to GBP77,603. (exchange rate :@1.2886 by Aug/2023) I found it lost GBP9,081. ) 2) losses cannot be deducted Count as each deal? (counts the gained deals only and dismiss the loss deal.) or count as whole tax year? (count Gains and losses annually) e.g. I invested 2 deals, one gains GBP1000, the other loss GBP400, should I just report the gained one (GBP1,000) or report 2 deals annually, totally gains GBP600 (1000-400) Best regards edmund

  • RE: Government Bond Interest

    Dear Sir, Regarding the non-UK bond investment currency exchange, should it use different exchange rate as buy and redemption? e.g. I bought the bond on year 2022 and redeemed on year 2023, my buying cost counts as the rate in year 2022 and the return counts as the rate in year 2023? Bestregards Edmund

  • RE: Currency Exchange (gain and loss)

    Dear sirs, I bought 100000 gbp by @1.23 usd for buying property. But the deal failed, and now I exchange the gbp back to usd by @1.26. By usd, I gain 3000 usd but by gbp, I gain zero. How do I report the CGT?
  • RE: Government Bond Interest

    Does the Gilt treat as deeply discount security also? The difference upon redemption should be taxed as Gct or income tax?
