RE: Collection of self assessment tax through PAYE tax code
Hi Zorba,
If you meet the criteria to have the 2023/24 balance collected in your tax code then once updated to collect the balance the payments on account set up for 2024/25 will automatically be reduced to nil.
Thank you. -
RE: Maintaining UK Resident Status
Hi Mike9jr,
The UK and Greece have an agreement that the issue of a Letter of Confirmation of Residence is enough to confirm you are tax resident in the UK.
If the Greek authorities will not accept this confirmation, then you need to have this confirmed in writing by the Greek authorities.
Please send the letter (no need to translate it) to HMRC BX9 1AS.
Where it will be assigned to a specialist team who liaise with the Greek authorities, to try to reach an agreement.
Thank you. -
RE: Income Tax relief procedures for Non resident in Tax year.
Hi tonynsabine Sabine,
As this will be your first employment, you should advise your employer that you will need to complete a 'starter checklist', as you do not have a P45. Starter checklist for PAYE
You will need to obtain a National Insurance number, which you can do here:
Apply for a National Insurance number
This will allow a cumulative tax code of 1257L to be applied against your employment income, which will backdate your personal allowances to the start of the tax year, so that you should have paid the correct amount of tax by the end of the tax year.
Thank you.

RE: Can dividend tax offset capital gains tax owed?
Hi Barry,
Sorry no.
The dividend is derived from the share and is taxed under income as dividends, using dividend rates.
Capital gains is a separeate tax entirely and is payable where the disposal value exceeds the allowable costs.
Both are declared on SA106, where a foreign tax credit can be claimed for any foreign tax payable.
Please see for further guidance.
Self Assessment: Foreign (SA106)

RE: forign part time job income
Hi ygsam,
Yes, the tax treaty between the UK and Hong Kong, article 14(2) advises that employment carried out in Hong Kong is taxable in Hong Kong, but article 14(2)(a) goes on to advise that if you spend less than 183 days in Hong Kong, then it is only taxable in the UK.
For this reason, you will need to claim a tax refund in Hong Kong and declare the income in a Self Assessment tax return.

RE: Living in Spain and working remotely for UK based company
Hi Michael,

RE: Cannot file capital gains tax due to having both Business tax account and Personal tax account
Hi Quynh To,
It sounds like you have set up a business account rather than a personal account.
You will need to create a new one to allow you to file correctly.
Please see guidance here:
Personal tax account: sign in or set up
If you experience any problem with this, please contact our online helpline.

RE: What happens to EIS investors if forced to sell in under three years?
Hi VORmax,
The legislation provides for the complete withdrawal of any relief attributable to shares if, by reason of some event, any of the conditions for the relief ceases to be satisfied.
Withdrawal of relief is usually by Special Assessment, but if you make an amendment (in time) to your Self Assessment that can be accepted, and any assessment already made can be vacated.
Please see guidance here:
