Hi Nando89,
As you are in receipt of foreign income / foreign capital gains, you meet the criteria needed for the completion of a Self Assessment tax return.
You can register for Self Assessment here:
Check how to register for Self Assessment
In that tax return you would declare your UK savings interest and your foreign interest, converted into pounds sterling.
If you made a capital gain from the conversion of sterling to Euros to deposit into the bond and back to sterling, this would also be declared in the capital gains section of the tax return, even if the gain is below the £3000 annual exempt allowance.
Thank you.

Thank you. 

Hi Vihango Shah,
There is no need to re-submit a form 17 and declaration of trust.
If HMRC have replied to you accepting the unequal share, there will be a record of this linked to both of your tax records.
The change that the declaration and the form 17 requested, will remain in force until, your interests in the property or income change, or you stop living together as a married couple.
You can contact HMRC if you choose and ask for a copy of the confirmation letter.
You can do this by contacting our Self Assesment helpline.

Thank you.

Hi hk1 K,
Most trusts do not pay Income Tax on income up to a tax-free amount (normally £500).
Tax is due on the full amount if the income is more than the tax-free amount.
The trust would declare the interest and pay the tax due and give your daughter a R185 statement of income from trusts.
Trusts and taxes
Your daughter would complete a Self Assessment tax return and include SA108, entering the values shown on the R185.
Any overpaid tax can then be refunded.
Please note that the HMRC online tax return does not cover the trust section.
Either a paper tax return or commercial tax return is required

A government gateway user ID and password is required for submitting a commercial tax return.
Thank you.

Hi Gary Y,
Capital gains losses arising in a tax year, need to be claimed withing 4 years of the end of the tax year, by writing to HMRC at H.M. Revenue and Customs Self Assessment BX9 1AS

Again, supporting evidence is required.
If the losses are agreed by HMRC tax inspectors, they can be carried forward indifinitely or until the next tax year a gain arises where they can be set against the gain.
Any surplus losses can continue to be carried forwards.
This process is repeated for each tax year that losses arise.
Thank you.
