HMRC Admin 20 Response

Hi ECH,

As a Deeply Discounted Security (DDS), a US Treasury Bond would normally be subject to UK income tax on maturity.
However, if redeemed or sold before maturity, the transaction would be subject to capital gains tax (CGT).
Any gain (or loss) should be entered in the 'shares and securities'  section of the Self Assesment tax return (and any Foreign Tax Credit Relief claimed in the relevant section).

Thank you.

Hi Tim Wallace,

Based on the information you have provided, if you were to migrate to the UK today, Article 18(2) would apply if you accessed your Swiss pension as a lump sum; and Article 18(1)  would apply if you chose to access your pension by means of monthly payments (which would not be given 'preferential treatment'). 
1977 UK/Switzerland Double Taxation Convention as amended by the 1981, 1993, 2007, 2009 and the 2017 Protocols The 2017 Protocol entered into force on 16 July 2019

Hi Barry Croucher,

No.  
Your inheritance is not classed as income and is not taxable.  
Any interest or dividends arising from your inheritance would be taxable and would need to be declared.

Thank you.
