  • Double taxation relief

    I've paid tax for 2022-2023. I found the double taxation relief has NOT been taken into account in the calculation of the tax amount. What should I do in order to claim back the relief? I'm also a tax resident of Hong Kong, and have also paid the HK tax for the same tax year.
  • breakdown of tax payment calculation

    I've just been informed of my amount of tax payable for the tax year 2022-2023 through my online personal tax account. However, I cannot find any details of how the amount was calculated, and I do have some queries about the amount. Can I ask for a breakdown of the tax payment calculation, and how? In case I suspect the amount of tax payable was wrongly calculated, can I make an appeal, and how? Should I pay that amount of tax payable first, and make the appeal later, or the other way round? Please advise. Thank you.
  • RE: Do I need to pay national insurance?

    In fact, I receive both royalty income and interest income from savings. As said, I've already registered for self assessment and got a UTR. Do I need to register for anything else, like a business tax account? Can I use the same UTR to report both types of income in my tax return?
  • Do I need to pay national insurance?

    I write books for an overseas publishing company as a freelancer (NOT an employee) and receive royalty income every 6 months. Am I regarded as self-employed? Do I need to pay NI? Kindly advise.
  • RE: What forms of tax return do I need to submit?

    I registered for self assessment online through my Gateway account on 23 Sep 2023. However, so far I haven't got my UTR. What should I do now? It's my first year submitting a tax return, and I need to send paper forms as I would like to apply for the split year arrangement. Should I print out the forms and send them to the HMRC right away without my UTR? Please advise. Thanks!
  • My UTR

    I registered myself for self assessment on 23 Sep 2023, but so far I have got any letter from HRMC to inform me of my UTR, or I could not see it on my online personal tax account. This is my first year doing self assessment, and I will submit paper forms. As the submission deadline is approaching, I'm afraid I will be late without having my UTR. How can I get my UTR as soon as possible? Please help!
  • RE: What forms of tax return do I need to submit?

    For the form SA100, can I simply print out the form I found at the HRMC's website marked "for reference"? Cause I have been calling the HRMC office several times to request that form, but every time I had to wait for a too long without anyone answering it.
  • Am I self-employed or employed?

    I write books for a company based in Hong Kong and receive royalty income from that company. Which tax return should I submit for the royalty income received, SA102, SA103 or SA106?
  • What forms of tax return do I need to submit?

    I moved to the UK from overseas on 30 July 2022. I'm jobless in the UK. But I still receive income from an overseas job and interest from overseas savings. I would like to apply for split-year arrangement in the tax year 2022-2023. Besides SA100, what forms do I need to submit for this year?
