HMRC Admin 20 Response

Hi Carmen W,
Please refer to Capital Gains Tax: what you pay it on, rates and allowances which explains how the gain would be calculated at disposal.
Thank you.

Hi bwearryyu,
Please refer to the guidance at Tax on your private pension contributions.
If you are claiming higher rate income tax relief over £10000, you will need to contact HMRC and claim through completing a Self Assessment Tax Return.
Repayments are not made in cash, but instead by cheque or to your bank account.
Thank you.

Hi Ken55 Livingstone,
Unfortunately, HMRC are unable to answer any queries regarding your pension.
Please contact the Department for Work and Pensions on 0800 731 0469 (or +44 (0) 191 2187777 if calling from abroad).
Lines are open from 8am to 6pm, Monday to Friday.
Thank you.
 

Hi Paul O'DONOGHUE,
The question is referring to the period directly before you left the UK, and you must base your answer on your circumstances at the time you left the UK.
Some customers have been resident in the UK and abroad on numerous occasions, so the part that says ‘before going abroad for this period’ is referring to your latest period of residence in the UK. Without looking at your personal records, I am unable to confirm how your answer to this question will affect the outcome of your application.  
Further information about being ordinarily resident in the UK can be found in the NI38 - Guidance on Social Security abroad: NI38
Thank you.



 

Hi Moray Vincent,
From the details that you’ve provided, it would appear that our International Team have quoted shortfalls of voluntary National Insurance contributions to you at the class 2 rate.  
The shortfalls quoted on PTAs are always at the voluntary class 3 rate.  
As the State Pension is based on qualifying tax years not the amount of money that you pay, the pension calculation on the PTA would be correct.  
Thank you.
 

Hi SimonL,
There at two separate calculations required here. One for you and the other for your spouse.  
You would take 50% of the disposal value and deduct 50% of the acquisition costs, as well as 50% of the Fees, such as solicitors fees, estate agent fees.  
This will allow you to work out the gain.  From this you deduct your private residence relief, which is the total number of months that the property was your main residence, plus a further 9 months, over the total number of months that you owned the property.  
Thank you.

Hi Nella,
As this income was earned through a Hong Kong based employer, while you were resident in Hong Kong, means that this income is only taxable in Hong Kong, even if your were in the UK at the time you received it.
It should not be included in a tax return, other than as a freehand note in box 17, page TR7 of SA100.
Thank you.

Hi PA28-161,
If you change job once the starter details are received from your new employer by HMRC, if an amend code is needed with previous pay and tax this will be issued by HMRC. 
Thank you.
 

Hi Constant Painting,
As long as you have notified HMRC of the losses, we can check to make sure they have not been used. you can then use them or continue to update the return to show losses to carry forward.
Thank you.
