Hi.
When he buys the equipmnent he will pay 20% VAT and will not be able to recover this as he is not VAT registered.
When he charges you for the supplier he won't be able to charge you VAT on top of his charge as again he isn't VAT registered .
Thank you. -

RE: Gift money and tax
Hi,
There are no income tax implications on the receipt of a cash gift unless the income generates interest or dividends.
These would then potentially be subject to tax.
Further guidance can be found here :

RE: Money transfer
Hi,
You will need to review the guidance at RDR1:
Guidance note for residence, domicile and the remittance basis: RDR1 .
If you are deemed resident in the UK for tax purposes at the time the property was disposed of, you will need to work out if a capital gain arises from the disposal.
There is a calculator to help you, which can be found at :
Tax when you sell property .
If their is a capital gain, you will need to declare any capital gain arising on the disposal of the property by completing a self assessment tax return (SA100), declaraing the capital gain on SA108 and if you wish to claima foreign tax credit relief, for foreign tax paid, you would also complete SA106.
Thank you. -
RE: Business mileage from home to various sites
Hi,
Given that you split your working time between your home and your office, you are regarded by HMRC as having
two 'permanent workplaces'.
You can therefore claim the business mileage incurred when travelling from your home to work at one of your 'temporary worklaces' -
ie the construction sites within the designated geographical area.
See link:
Ordinary commuting and private travel (490: Chapter 3) .
Thank you . -

RE: UK Tax on Australian Superannuation
Hi,
Article 17 of the UK/Australia DTA states "ARTICLE 17 Pensions and annuities.
1 Pensions (including government pensions) and annuities paid to a resident of a Contracting State shall be taxable only in that State.
2 The term “annuity” means a stated sum payable periodically to an individual at
stated times during life or during a specified or ascertinable period of time under an obligation to make the payments in return
for adequate and full consideration in money or money’s worth.".
Paragraph 2 specifies payments made 'periodially', qualify for relief.
Lump sum payments are not mentioned in any way, therefor, they do not qualify for double taxation relief and so the
lump sum is taxable in the United Kingdom.
As a resident of Australia, you can claim tax relief on the tax paid in the UK on the lump sum.
The double taxation agreement can be found at :
Australia: tax treaties .
Thank you. -

RE: Split year treatment
Hi
Mikehhh ,
As you are deemed resident for the full tax year and you are required to complete a tax return for other reasons,
you do not need to complete the SA109 residence page.
If you have any foreign income in the tax year, it will need to be declared on SA106.
Thank you. -
