RE: Money transfer
Hi,
Dear Roman, HMRC requires UK residents to declare (via a Self Assessment tax return) their worldwide income and gains.
However, as was explained previously, the transfer of funds from an overseas bank account to a UK bank account is not in itself a taxable transaction,
and does not have to be reported to HMRC (although any interest arising when the funds are deposited in a UK bank account
should of course be declared to HMRC).
Thank you. -
RE: UK Tax on Australian Superannuation
Hi
Neil Sanderson,
You are required to declare your overseas income to HMRC unless all of the following circumstances apply:
(a) your only foreign income is dividends
(b) your total dividends - including UK dividends - are less than the £2,000 dividend allowance and
(c) you have no other income to report.

RE: Money transfer
Hi,
Foreign income and gains are only taxed in the UK when they, or amounts ‘in respect of’ or amounts ‘representing’ those income or gains,
are ‘remitted’ to the UK.
If foreign income and gains remain offshore and are never regarded as remitted to the UK, the tax charge is effectively deferred indefinitely.
RDRM31030 - Residence, Domicile and Remittance Basis Manual - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
If the overseas account contains income or gains have arisen while t/p is resident in the UK there is a potential tax charge when
the account is remitted to the UK.
Thank you. -

Hi
Dear Guner, I can confirm that the movement of money from an overseas bank account to a UK bank account is a non-taxable transaction.

RE: UK Tax on Australian Superannuation
Hi,
If the individuals now have ownership of the pension as a lump sum or an ongoing monthly payment for e.g. then we would expect
this to be declared as being in receipt from an overseas pension, which should be declared on a Self Assessment tax Return under the Foreign section.
Thank you. -
RE: Certificate of Residence for tax purposes
Hi,
HMRC are encoutering a large amount of email requests for Certificate of Residence letters and there is a backlog.
I would suggest re submiting your request by choosing our 'Online' option as oppose to 'Email'.
The online requests have an approximate 5 day turnaround.

Thank you.
