RE: Reporting CGT on Overseas Property sale
Hi ogmir,
March 2023, is in the 22/23 tax year.
Any foreign income or capital gains must be declared in a Self Assessment Tax return.
To avoid late filing penalties and interest charges, a paper tax return must be in HMRC possession, no later than 31 October 2023.
A tax return submitted online, has up to 31 January 2024.
In both cases, payment of the tax must be made by 31 January 2024, to avoid late payment penalties and interest charges.
Thank you. -
RE: Sole Trader/Business Trading Name
Hi Gerry More,
The business name you would declare when registering for a Self Assessment Tax return, is used mainly to identify a different trade, where you have more than one self- employment trade and is for Self Assessment purposes only.
It is not registered in any way and as the letter advising you of your 10 digit UTR number is standardised, it will not show your business name, as the UTR number covers all sources of world-wide income, not just self- employment.
Expenditure incurred on advertising to establish a market share for a new product or brand may be capital.
An asset of this type is normally developed from scratch in-house although it may occasionally be built up from the acquisition of a struggling brand name or the rights in an invention.

RE: split year
Hi HY C,
1. For your scenario it will be the date you arrive in the UK as the 'home' is already sorted
2. A home can be a building, or part of a building, a vehicle, vessel or structure of any kind which is used as a home by an individual. It will be somewhere which an individual uses with a sufficient degree of permanence or stability to count as a home.
3. Please refer to point 2
4. As the contracts were exchanged prior to arrival it is foreigh income out with the UK part of the year.
Thank you. -

RE: Selling property in India and bringing proceeds to UK
Hi guynextdoor Smith,
You will need to work out if there is a Capital Gains Tax liability arising in the UK.
You will need to convert your acquisition costs to pounds sterling, using the exchange rate in operation at the time you acquired the property.
You will also need to do the same with the disposal costs, using the exchange rate in operation at the time you disposed of the property.
If the difference results in a gain, then you will need to declare the disposal of the Indian property on a Self Assessment Tax return.
The official exchange rates can be found here:

If your Indian home was your main residence, then you may be able claim private residence relief (PRR).

RE: Cash gift from parents outside UK
Hi Aleksandr Belozertsev,
There are no Income Tax implications on the receipt of a cash gift unless the cash gift generates interest or dividends.
These would then potentially be subject to tax.

Tax on dividends
Thank you.
