  • RE: RSUs withheld for tax and CGC reporting

    Hi jmjq,
    As the payment is from your employer, the income should be shown in the employment section if it is included in your P60.
    You would then claim credit for the Tax in the foreign section under 'Employment, self-employment and other income which you paid foreign tax on'.
    If it's not included in your P60, please include it on the box on the employment page for 'Tips and other payments not included on your P60'.
    ERSM20193 advises that when RSUs payout at the market value on what is called ""dividend equivalents"" in either cash or shares, such payments will generally be taxed as earnings in the year they are received.
    ERSM20193 - Employment-related securities and options: what are securities: RSUs and dividend equivalents
    If you hold on to the shares after they vest and dispose of them at a later date for more than the vesting value, you would be subject to Capital Gains Tax on the difference. If tax was payable, you would either report the gain using:
    Report and pay your Capital Gains Taxbefore 31 December or on a Self Assessment Tax return.  
    If the value exceed £49200, you would report the gain on your tax return even if you have reported using the reatime service.
    You would record the gains using boxes 23 to 30 on SA108 page CG2.
    Thank you. 

     
  • RE:Being taxed in France while working for UK company

    Hi Ana V,
    French tax laws are different to UK tax laws.
    French laws may consider business travel to and from France, as workable days in France.
    I cannot comment on that or whether the French employer is right in deducting tax in France.  
    You would need to review the guidance at RDR4  to determine if overseas workday relief applies to your circumstances.

  • RE:UK Property Tax

    Hi Phoebe Chan,
    You will need to complete the residency tests at RDR3 to confirm your residency position and to confirm if the split year treatment applies to your circumstances.
    RDR3 Statutory Residence Test
    If it does, you report this on form SA109, when submitting your tax return.  
    Income from UK property is taxable in its entirety in the UK, so split year treatment does not apply to this income.
    Thank you. 
  • RE: Partnership Return

    Hi ChristyL,
    A sole trader completes a Self Assessment Tax return and declares the self employment on SA103S or SA103F.
    Where a sole trader changes to a partnership, you need to notify HMRC of the commencement of the partnership, so that a partnership tax record can be created.  
    The partners need to decide who will be the 'nominated partner', who will interact with HMRC on partnership business and also take responsibility for submitting and amending the partnership tax return (SA800).
     Each partner would submit SA104S or SA104F partnership pages instead of self employment pages, declaring their idividual share of the income and expenses and show their profit or loss.  
    The combined totals of all the partners, should match the figures submitted in SA800.
    As the partnership commenced in 21/22 tax year, partnership returns should have been submitted every year since.  
    The nominated partner will need to contact our webchat colleagues, to resolve the issues and seek advice on appealing any penalties that may arise.

  • RE: Payment on Account

    Hi 4Dimension,
    It would be half of the amount showing as due for 22/23.

  • RE: Advice for working from EU for UK company

    Hi Jonas,
    You will need to take the residence test to determine if you are tax resident in the UK.
    You’ll be resident in the UK for a tax year and at all times in that tax year if:
    -you do not meet any of the automatic overseas tests
    -you meet one of the automatic UK tests or the sufficient ties test
    RDR3: Statutory Residence Test (SRT) notes

    If you are tax resident in the UK and at all times, you will need to submit a Self Assessment Tax return, declaring your UK employment income.  
    If you are also required to pay tax on this employment income in the other country, you will also need to complete the foreign section and claim a foreign tax credit of up to the tax paid in the other country. 
    If split year treatment applies, you will need to submit a tax return, showing the income arising while resident in the UK and tax deducted by your employer.

    Split year treatment is claimed on SA109 (residence).
     If you choose to submit a tax return online and you need to claim non residence or split year treatment, you will need to purchase 3rd party commercial tax return that includes the residence section and submit it using your government gateway user ID and password.

  • RE: Transferring existing Stocks and shares ISA to two new ISAs

    Hi Rahul,
    You are correct.
    You can have multiple ISA's of the same type, provided they were each opened in differen tax years.  
    You would be able to open a new stocks and shares ISA and transfer the funds from the old ISA.
    If you want to transfer money you’ve invested in an ISA during the current year, you must transfer all of it.  
    For money you invested in previous years, you can choose to transfer all or part of your savings.  
    The maximum you can save in an ISA in 23/24 is £20000.  
    Thank you.

  • RE: CGT when transferring main residence to a partner, then selling?

    Hi pinecone_desky,
    Gifts of property between individuals, who are not married or civil parners, are subject to Capital Gains Tax.  
    As this is your main residence, private residence relief may cover the chargeable gain, so no tax is payable.  
    You will need to work out if that is the case.  
    There is a calculator at to help you work this out:
    Tax when you sell your home
    Your partner would need to work out if private residence relief covers all of the gain, so that no tax is payable.  
    You would only need to report withing 60 days, using the online Capital Gains Tax service, if there is a gain arising from your gift or your partners disposal.
    There are no other tax implications.
    Thank you.
