  • RE: Transfer of Swiss Pension

    Hi Swissbrit Marriott

    If your siutation applies to article 18.2 then yes you would only pay tax in Switzerland which means you would not need to declare of notify HMRC of this amount. 

    Thank you.
  • RE: BNO

    Hi SYC Chin,

    The Hong Kong pension would not apply as this is only taxable in Hong Kong.
    You can check here if you meet any criteria for completing a tax return, including declaring the foreign savings income.

    Check if you need to send a Self Assessment tax return

    Thank you.
     
  • RE: UK Tax on Australian Superannuation

    Hi rajibear1960,

    Guidance on Australian double taxation agreements can be found here:

    Double Taxation Relief Manual

    However clarification is currently being sought for a definition of a lump sum. 

    Thank you.
  • RE: Split year treatment

    Hi Amy,

    Boxes 23 onwards only need to be completed if you are UK resident and claiming the remittance basis.

    If this is not the case then you do not need to enter any information in these sections.

    Guidances notes on this can be found here

    Residence, remittance basis etc (Self Assessment SA109)

    You would still complete boxes 18/19, boxes 20-22 are only for income which potentially will be doubly taxed.

    These pages as suggested can only be completed online through third party software as HMRC software does not have this section.

    You can complete a paper copy of the return instead or purchase third party software

    Self Assessment commercial software suppliers

    Deadlines for self assement filing can be found here

    Self Assessment tax returns

    Thank you
  • RE: Certificate of Residence for tax purposes

    Hi SebGo,

    We cannot issue a certificate of residence for a future date, but you can request up to the current date here as long as you have registered for self assessment:

    How to apply for a certificate of residence to claim tax relief abroad

    If however you do get paid this income with tax deducted, then you can enter this on the foreign section of your return and we can give foreign tax credit so that you are not taxed twice on the same income. 

    Thank you.
  • RE: Split year treatment

    Hi C Law,

    If you qualify for split year then you are only reporting the income for the UK part of the year. 

    Thank you.
  • RE: UK Tax on Australian Superannuation

    Hi Katz57,

    Yes, this should be treated as a foreign pension and would be entered under the foreign section of the return.

    If any tax has already been deducted in Australia then also enter this information as you may be able to claim credit for this against any UK tax.

    Thank you.
  • RE: Money transfer

    Hi SHina,

    There is no income tax implication on the transfer of money to a UK bank account but you may wish to speak to your bank re any possible fees. 

    Thank you.

    Hi taimmah,

    There is no income tax implications when you change capital from one bank account to another.

    You may wish to check with the overseas tax authorities if  you need to notify them and you may wish to contact your bank to check if any deails are needed there.
