Dear HMRC, I received cash monthly in my overseas bank account from my family overseas to support my living expense in the UK. I transfer this money from overseas bank to a bank in the UK. Do I have to pay UK tax for these cash I received and transferred to the UK? Thanks.

Dear HMRC, I lived overseas many years before moving to the UK. I received a foreign tax refund from an overseas government for tax I paid them when I lived overseas. I did not claim foreign tax credit in the UK and I applied for split year treatment in the year I arrived in the UK. Do I have to report this refund to HMRC? The refund arrived in the 2nd tax year since my move to the UK. If so, do I report in SA100 self assessment? Thanks.

Dear HMRC, I moved from one UK city to another UK city to start work at my current employer. My employer reimbursed me the hotel cost I paid for in the new city while I looked for a flat to rent. Is the cost of hotel a qualifying relocation expense? If so and if my employer reimbursed me less than 8000 pounds, then I do not have to report this reimbursement to HMRC and self assessment SA100? Thanks and regards, Alice

Dear HMRC, Is the first time buyer relief of Stamp Duty Land Tax public fund? My visa requires me not claim public fund. Thanks and regards.

Dear HMRC, My sisters would like to give me gift of cash to buy a flat in England. I live in England with BNO (British National Overseas) visa but my sisters live overseas and are not UK citizens. Will I have to pay tax for this gift of cash I received from my sisters? And if my sister(s) dies, will I have to pay any inheritance tax or other type of tax in the UK? Thanks and regards, Alice
