RE: lifetime ISA& help to buy ISA for reassignment contract
Hi congliu.uk,
Please see the guidance at Lifetime ISA. It does not specify market values or sale prices.
As long as the cost to you is below £450000, you meet that part of the criteria.
The other criteria are you buy the property at least 12 months after you make your first payment into the Lifetime ISA, you use a conveyancer or solicitor to act for you in the purchase - the ISA provider will pay the funds directly to them and you’re buying with a mortgage.
Thank you. -
RE: CGT on joint owned property
Hi Harvey Greener,
As jointly owned, yes you both need to declare a gain.
Please note, you cannot deduct the mortgage outstanding as an expense.
You will need to get an official valauation from 2015, this can be done via an estate agent.
Tax on the gain is due at 18% or 28% depending on your other taxable income.
Thank you. -

RE: Amazon flex substitute
Hi Km2024,
As the money is paid to him, this brings the turnover above the £1000 limit and a tax return will be reqauired.
Te money he then pays to you will be classed as wages that are paid out to reduce any profit.
You will then need to declare the wages you receive as income too, in a tax return.
Thank you. -

RE: Switzerland - UK Personal Income Tax (UK salary taxed in the UK)
Hi milju,
If you continue to be employed by a UK employer, while resident in Switzerland (or any other country for that matter) you should complete online form P85, to report that you have left the UK.
You also have the added benefit of confirming that you continue to be employed by a UK employer.
This will allow HMRC to advise your employer to stop deducting income tax from your earnings, as your earnings will be taxable in Switzerland.
Get your Income Tax right if you're leaving the UK (P85)

RE: Second job tax
Hi Anastasiya Komarova,
With the higher rate tax threshold being £50,000, some of the income at your second job will be liable for 20% tax, and some will be liable for 40% tax.
This can be tricky for the code used at a secondary employment to work out, so the tax due at 40% at your second job is actually collected through your first job.
This is done by reducing your tax free allowances, via an 'Adjustment to Rate Band'.
To confirm if the adjustment made to your primary code is correct, contact us by webchat or phone via Income Tax: general enquiries.
Thank you.
