  • RE: Transferring money from EU to the UK

    Hi Pippi123,
    The origanal payment would be seen as a gift from your parents.
    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.  
    Further guidance can be found here:
    Tax on savings interest
    Tax on dividends
    Thank you. 
  • RE: Dividends from UK Companies

    Hi Man Pang,
    If you received shares instead of a cash dividend, this is a stock dividend.
    The company will give you a dividend statement that shows ‘the appropriate amount in cash’ or ‘the cash equivalent of the share capital’, put this figure 
    in box 12.
    Thank you.

    Hi Joan G,

    Thank you. 
  • RE: US Beneficiary IRA Distribution

    Hi BritishAl23,
    Roth Individual Retirement Accounts payments to a UK resident that are not taxable in the United States are not taxable in  the United Kingdom.
    Have a look at:
    DT19852 - Double Taxation Relief Manual: Guidance by country: United States of America: Treaty summary
    Note 2 in relation to other pensions. 
    UK/US citizens resident in the UK are taxable on their IRA interest in the UK.
    IRA's are treated differently from Roth IRA's, in that they are taxable in the UK under foreign interest.
    The gross interest would be declared in the Self Assessment Tax return, using the supplementary page SA106.  
    The interest would be treated in the same way as UK interest and attract that starting rate of £5000.00.
    Have a look at:
    Tax on savings interest.
    DT19852 implies that tax is not payable in the USA on this interest. 
    Thank you. 

     
  • RE:CGT rate

    Hi Angela Stone,
    We would need to check the details on the return and you can contact us on webchat to have this reviewed.
    If correct, supply bank details for a repayment to be arranged,
    Go to Gov.uk and search 'contact HMRC'.
    Then choose Self-Assessment and go to 'Ask HMRC Online'
    Thank you. 
     
  • RE: Losses available to be carried forward

    Hi Mike Tong,

    Thank you.

     
  • RE: Foreign Saving Interest

    Hi Shiawase,
    Commonly foreign income and gains are ‘remitted to the UK’ if they (or something deriving from them) are:
    brought to, or received in, or used in the UK by you or another relevant person
    brought to, or received in, or used in the UK for your benefit or that of another relevant person
    used to pay for a service provided in the UK to you or another relevant person
    used to pay for a service provided in the UK for your benefit or that of another relevant person
    used outside of the UK for a relevant debt in the UK
    Thank you.
