  • RE: Tax return

    I received a letter from HMRC to charge me a penalty GBP100 due to Late Tax Return for the year ended 5 April 2023. Is that means I need to file tax return for the year from 6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023 ? In order to avoid interest for late payment, I have paid penalty. But I arrived in the UK July 2023 via BNO Visa, I have retired, I think I should file tax return for the financial year from 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024 for my interest (foreign interest) from Bank, is it correct ? I have received my UTR no. for the tax return year 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024, I am going to file tax return for this financial year. In this case, If I need to submit my tax return self assessment for the year from 6 April 2023 to 5 April 2024 and not from 6 April 2022 to 5 April 2023, what should I do now? How can I chase back my penalty ? Awaiting for your reply. Thank you very much. Best regards.
  • Fill in Self Assessment on line

    Dear HMRC, We are going to fill up Self Assessment tax return on line, my spouse is a retired civil servant from Hong Kong. Each month, he received pension from Hong Kong Government . According to the double taxation agreement between UK and Hong Kong, article 17 of the UK/HK double taxation agreement, the pension is only taxation in Hong Kong, so this income is not taxable in the UK and it should not shown on a Self Assessment tax return. When he inputs the information on the system, it asks to put " yes" or " no " on the question " Are you liable to pension saving tax charges or have you received payment from overseas pension schemes ?" Because he received pension from Hong Kong Government every month, what should he select ? If this pension should not show on the UK Self Assessment tax return . Thank you. Best regards,
  • RE: Self-Assessment for saving interest.

    Dear HMRC, According to the link which you provided, is it the interest for saving from local Bank (UK Bank) and foreign Bank (outside Bank) are treated as " income from saving " and we need to send a tax return? If yes, can we put both interest in SA100 and no need to fill up SA106? Best regatrds
