RE: Income received upon maturity of US Treasury Notes
Hi taxabc,
US government bonds, sometimes known as T-bills or treasury bills are generally taxed as income rather than capital gains.
The return is paid at maturity rather than regular interest payments.
In the UK, these are known as deeply discounted securities, with the discount being the difference between the price at which they were issued and the price received at maturity.
On a foreign investment the income is the difference between the purchase and redemption price after each has been converted to sterling on the day the transactions took place, so includes any foreign exchange gains.
Losses cannot be deducted.
Have a look here for more information:

RE: Remitted foreign savings (arising basis)
Hi Suma Rao,
You wil declare the foreign income on the foreign section of the tax return.
If filing on an arising basis this means you are liable on your worldwide income in the year whether you remit it in the UK or not so this will also include Capital Gains.
Thank you.

RE: Partner buying into property and want to gift part of the proceeds to my children
Hi Kenthewizard,
This would be seen as you 'selling' that sahre of your property so this would be a capital gain if the property has not been your main resident for the whole period of ownership. if it has you dont need to do anything.
For the gift, this amount would be taken into account when working out the value of your estate for Inheritance tax purposes, were you to pass away within 7 years.
Thank you.
