Hi I am a non-UK resident for tax purposes and live in Australia. I will be receiving a lump sum payment from a UK pension scheme at the end of the year and I understand that they will be withholding tax at the UK emergency tax rate. I have no UK income other than this. Considering that the Australian government will also treat the lump sum payment as taxable income, I am unsure of the best way to recover any tax overpayment. Which of the following would apply to my situation: - I should lodge a UK self-assessment (SA100 & SA109) to recover the overpayment of tax in the UK. - I should lodge a claim under the double taxation agreement between Australia and the UK to recover all tax paid in the UK (since it will be paid in Australia). - All of the above Thanks
