    You will only pay the tax when you sell them and in your example this is the 22/23 tax year, the due date for tax to be paid is 31/1/24.

    Thank you.

  • RE: Double Taxation UK/Germany

    Hi Gary Coombs,

    We only provide general advice in this forum.  
    If you need detailed advice, you will need to contact our taxes helpline (0300 200 3300) so that more information can be obtained and time taken on your query.  
    If your interpretation of the DTA, confirms your pension is taxable in the UK, you would declare it in the foreign section self assessment tax return.  
    If you've paid tax on the overseas income, you may be able to claim FTCR (Foreign Tax Credit Relief).  
    Double taxation agreements are reciprocal so the terms 'contracting state' and 'other state' are interchangeable between the UK and the other country.  
    We cannot advise how the German tax authorities would deal with the matter.  

    Thank you.
  • RE: UK Tax on a Canadian RRSP

    Hi HMHippo,

    No there is not another method to leverage the Canadian tax and you would be liable in both countries. capital gain would apply once the assets had been disposed of to make them realized assets.

    Thank you.

  • RE: Tax on insurance policy

    Hi winglam,

    "You may also have made a gain which is only taxable when your policy ends. This is because in each insurance year you can withdraw up to 5% of the premium paid into your policy without a gain happening in that year. An insurance year begins on the anniversary of the date of your policy was taken out and ends on the day before the anniversary in the next year (except in the final insurance year). The 5% takes into account regular pay outs or withdrawals.
    If, for example, you do not make any withdrawals in an insurance year, the full amount of the 5% ‘annual allowance’ is carried forward. This means that in the second insurance year, if you have not made a withdrawal in the first insurance year, you can withdraw up to 10% of the premium paid without a gain happening in that second insurance year.
    The 5% annual limit is not a tax-free amount. All amounts paid from or withdrawn from a policy have to be added into the calculation made when your policy ends."

    Thank you.
