HMRC Admin 10 Response

Hi
In general terms, we can advise that the disposal of an interest in a reporting fund by a UK resident which was previously a non-reporting fund, and where an election under Regulation 48 of Statutory Instrument 2009/3001 hasn’t been made, will give rise to an offshore income gain (OIG) where the full gain would be subject to income tax as miscellaneous income.
(Offshore Funds, The Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009 and IFM13414 & Regulation 18).
We are unable to answer hypothetical questions and can only give general advise.  
You may wish to seek professional advice if you require a more details answer.

Hi
I apologise if you haven't had a response.

If you are resident and domiciled or deemed domiciled in the UK, you are unable to use the remittance basis.  
If you use the remittance basis, you lose your personal allowance and your full amount of interest would be subject to tax, based on the savings rates at Tax on savings interest.  (£8000 - £5000 - £1000 = £2000 @ 20% = £400.00)

You wouldn't need to declare this.

Hi
I regret that you do not qualify for private residence relief, as the property was not your main residence (you would need to live in the property as your main residence.

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.
