  • RE: Split year treatment and foreign income

    Dear HMRC admin, You also did not answer the question of who evaluates the quality of work of administrators on this forum? The messages of other forum participants also contain descriptions of specific life situations, so your answer makes me feel discriminated. I would like it to be considered by higher authorities. Thank you
  • RE: Split year treatment and foreign income

    Good day I have reread this topic with messages again and do not understand your answer. Other people asked their questions, describing life situations and received answers about whether they need to pay taxes or not in their cases. For example, you can take the very first message. I feel discriminated against because of an unjustified refusal in this case. I would like to understand how my case differs from the cases of other people and why they received answers about what to do, but I did not. I would also like to understand if some department analyzes these answers and the behavior of administrators since I feel discriminated against in my case. Thank you.
  • RE: Split year treatment and foreign income

    Hello HMRC agent, I would like to ask about split year treatment and how to define the employment income earned before and after I became resident. Below is the time frame of my case: 1) 25 July 2024 is the last working day in UAE 2) 26 July 2024 I started a permanent job in the UK with my new employer and have been working till now (I was still in UAE) 3) 29 July 2024 I received and signed the Final Settlement letter about the End of Service Benefit (EOSB) from my UAE employer. EOSB agreement includes my final salary till July 25, leave salary, gratitude pay, relocation bonus 4) 31 July 2024 I received transfer of money from the first part of EOSB (the final salary till July 25) 5) 1 August 2024 I requested refunding of the security deposit from Water and Electricity supplier in UAE 6) 5 August 2024 I sold my car in UAE 7) 6 August 2024 I landed in the UK 8) 6 August 2024 I received refunding of the security deposit from Water and Electricity supplier in UAE 9) 7 August 2024 I received transfer of money from the sale my car on 6 August 2024 10) 9 August 2024 I received transfer of money from the second part of EOSB (leave salary, gratitude pay, relocation bonus) 11) 13 August 2024 I requested refunding of the security deposit from Chiller service supplier in UAE (it’s one of the type of public utilities in UAE, like Electricity or Water). I’m still waiting for this refund. Questions: 1. Am I correct in understanding that everything I earned before moving to the UK (6 August 2024) is a clear capital? 2. Clear capital isn't subject to UK taxation, and I can transfer this money to the UK without paying taxes? 3. Is the income from the sale of the car clear capital? The car was sold before I became a tax resident of the UK. 4. Is the income from the EOSB agreement (final salary, gratitude pay, bonuses from UAE employer) clear capital? In fact, this money was earned before moving to the UK, but the transfers came when I was already in the UK 5. Are the money from refunding the security deposits for my UAE apartment also clear capital? In fact, they were left as collateral when I was a resident of UAE and I do not receive additional income here Tahnk you a lot for your help!
