  • RE: Cash gift from parents outside UK


    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 :

    Tax on savings interest  and :

    Tax on dividends    . 

    Thank you.
  • RE: Split year treatment


    Hi,
     
    The date the tenancy is signed is the start date as it is assumed an individual will move in the same day or a few days after.

    From the examples you have given, the difference in start dates is due to the property being habital.

    Based on your details, it is a choice to enter the property later than the tenancy date and nothing to do with it not being habital.

    As such 01/07/13 is the start date in your case as it was then down to choice to move in later .

    Thank you.

  • RE: Split year treatment


    Hi
     
    Isaac Elizondo Garcia,
     
     
    Split year treatment can only be claimed by completing a self assessment tax return (SA100) and
    the residence supplementary page (SA109). 

    If you have a government gateway user ID and password and have created a personal tax account, you can submit the tax return online. 

    Alternatively, the tax return can be downloaded and printed off at www.gov.uk  .

    Thank you.
  • RE: How to complete previous years' self assessments online


    Hi,
     
    If the returns for the earlier years have been requested, there will be an option for 'more self assessment details' or

    'tax return options' which would allow you to select previous years.

    Thank you.
  • RE: Reimbursed expenses


    Hi,
     
    Please note that re-imbursed expenses should be taken into account  when calculating your total self-employed income.

    If however some or all of the reimbursed expenses are 'allowable', you can of course include them as deductible expenses :.   

    HS222 How to calculate your taxable profits (2020)   .

    Thank you.
  • RE: Money transfer


    Hi,
     
    If the savings have already been earning interest, this should have been reported to the UK.

    Refer to guidance at :

    Tax on foreign income  .

    There is no tax to pay on the capital transfer to the UK but once the income is invested here,

    any interest or dividends it then generates is liable to income tax   .

    Thank you.
