  • RE:Notifying Hmrc if adding more than £10k lump sum to sipp?

    Hi graham fur,
    For payment over £10,000 you need to write in with evidence of the payment.
    HMRC cannot advise you on investments as this is financial advice, which we are not authorised to give.
    Thank you.

    Under the remittance basis, the starting rate for savings is not available.

    Thank you. 
     
  • RE:Foreign Dividend Income

    Hi Philtax,
    If you have foreign dividends of less than £2000 then you can include the foreign dividends in box 6 of page TR7 of SA100.
    You do not need to declare the dividends in the foreign section.
    Please tick 'yes' to the question "Did you receive any dividends, for example, from UK companies, authorised unit trusts, open-ended investment companies, foreign companies (up to £2,000)?" on page 2 of 3, when tailoring your online return, to enter dividends when filling in your return.
    It's possible you have duplicated the dividends, perhaps in the foreign section.
    Thank you. 
     
  • RE:Report on selling overseas property

    Hi CocoF,
    As the disposal is that of a foreign property, you should declare the disposal in your Self Assessment tax return, even when there is no Capital Gains Tax to pay.
    As you disposed of the property in the 23/24 tax year, you can declare the disposal after 5 April 2024, when the tax return is available.
    You should keep a record of how you acquired the market value used and retain any documents, for at least 5 years.
    Thank you. 
  • RE:Hackathon Prize reporting

    Hi Yurii T,
    Prize money, goods and any incidental expenses awarded on entering a competition would not be taxable,
    As long as they are not considered as a normal source of income for customers trade, vocation or profession and they do not arise out of the customers employment.
    So, if the prize is connected with the customers trade or profession etc then the general rule is that it will be taxable.
    An example would be the sports profession such as golf, snooker or darts etc or Authors and other creative arts professions.
    Where it is seen as a normal part of the profession to enter related competitions and receive prizes for doing so.
    BIM50710 sets out the general rule for authors, but can equally be applied to self-employment as income from the underlying trade.
    You would include the income within the self employment along with any other receipts of the trade or profession.
    Alternatively, if of a more casual or occasional nature it can be shown as miscellaneous income on the main return Page TR3 Question 17. 
    Thank you.
