RE: Revenue figure when using Margin Scheme for Second Hand Goods
Hi paul k,
The link advises how to account for the VAT on margin scheme sales.
We do not use the term 'revenue sales' so I'm unsure what your query actually is, please confirm.
As far as accounting for the VAT goes, the link does provide all of the relevant information.
Thank you. -
RE: Money transfer
Hi Dan Skale,
You pay Capital Gains Tax when you sell overseas property if you are resident in the UK.
However, there are special rules if you are resident in the UK but your permanent home ('domicile') is abroad.
Chapter 9 in HMRC’s guidance on ‘Residence, Domicile and the Remittance Basis’ explains the rules for bringing income or gains to the UK.
