  • Overseas Dividend

    I have some stocks in US. Take an example that I received dividend 2700 pounds in the current financial year, but 15% of it was deducted for tax in US (i.e. 405 pounds are paid in US). So I received net amount of 2295 pounds. Based my current income level, I should fall in the basic rate level. Should I need to report the dividend income as I have already paid 15% tax in US?
  • Stamp Duty to buy my first home in UK

    Hi, I am going to buy my own house in UK, but I am not sure what should I follow on the stamp duty rate in my situation. My husband and me had owned a house in HK before, but we had sold it. My husband has just bought a house in UK solely under his name. I am now going to buy another house which will be solely under my name. We will live separately then in our owned houses, but we are still legally married. I check the stamp duty rate for 0-250K pounds is 0% or 3%; and for 250K-925K pounds is 5% or 8%. As I am viewing a house with price around 350K pounds, how much stamp duty I should pay for? Thank you
