Hi Zuzanna,
The VAT rate on imported goods should be the same VAT rate applied when the goods are sold in the UK.
Thank you, 

Hi nmead,
You can only reclaim the import VAT where you have a valid C79 certificate for the import
Please see the infomation here:
Check how to get your import VAT certificate (C79)

Hi Edyta B,
Sorry, there is insufficient information here to give a definitive answer.
It depends on the nature of the payment and reasons it was incurred.
Thank you, 


 

Hi Simon Brook,
Donations to a CIC  are not a taxable receipt.
If you have no community interest activities and were for example, a normal corner shop, then it may be a taxable receipt.
However, from the infor provided this would not be the case in view of your activities as your tading is not carried out for personal profit but to benefit the community.
Thank you, 

Hi Leslie2023,
As you are trading in the UK, you should register for Corporation tax and VAT in the UK, and submit tax returns on your UK activities.
Goods stored in Amazon warehouses in the UK would not constitute a permanent establishment.
Thank you,

No, if UK tax resident and you have sold a UK residential property, you do not need to report it if no tax is due.
Thank you. 

Hi andy1,
If you have to complete a Self Assessment tax return, you must declare all of your world-wide income, no matter how small.
Self assessment will then apply the £2000 dividend allowance to your UK and foreign dividends and tax them accordingly.
So if your only dividends at £60, you must still declare this and Self  Assessment will set is against the £2000 dividend allowance.
Thank you, 

Hi Bigjock,
Based on the double taxation treaty in place for Germany, prior to 2017 you would declare all of your income in the UK and if any tax had been paid abroad, you could claim Foreign Tax Credit relief.
Following a change with the German government, hence the 01/08/17 date, they gave new lesgislation that their equivelant of State Pension was only to be declared and taxed in Germany.
Therefore from this date, you do/did not need to declare this income.
Payments made prior to this date are not affected and there is no change  so you cannot change those figures.
For France, your payment is a pension and comes under Article 18 and as a resident of the UK, you are liable in the UK on this income.
There has been no change to this treaty since 2008 so again any income you have received is taxable here.
Thank you.
