RE: Gift tax for cash gift from overseas
Hi Robert
There are no Income Tax implications on the giving or 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: Tax on savings interest Tax on dividends
You may also wish to consider any inheritance tax implications:
The rules on giving gifts can be found here: How Inheritance Tax works: thresholds, rules and allowances
Thank you. -

Hi,
You will not need to declare the actual transfer of the capital. You will need to report any interest or dividends that this has generated.
Thank you.

RE: Starting Rate for Savings
Hi,
That's right - taking £1000 less pension would leave this amount of your regular tax free allowance free, which would then be applied against any oustanding interest. See link below:

RE: Tax on pension ad-hoc payments
Hi,
If you’ve paid too much Income Tax on a flexibly accessed pension payment (that hasn't emptied your pension pot) and don't expect to be taking regular or flexible payments before the end of
the tax year, you can claim an in-year refund by completing a P55 - you can do so here:
Claim back tax on a flexibly accessed pension overpayment (P55)
Thank you. -
RE: Capital expenses claim on a laptop
Hi,
Your 20/21 return would need to be amended to process your claim, however we have passed the regular time limit for you to amend this return. To make the changes, you need to write to us,
stating that you are 'making a claim for overpayment relief'. State the year you wish to claim for, and give details of the claim you wish to make.
Please send your letter to Self Assessment, HM Revenue and Customs, BX9 1AS, United Kingdom.
Thank you. -
