RE: Second job tax
Hi
If we already have the employment that will become your 'second' job on record, this would currently be using your personal allowance.
If you contact our Income Tax department a week after your first pay from your new job, we would be able switch your tax allowance onto the new job.
Thankyou.

RE: Rental income transfer to my wife
Hi James Leung
Thank you for your question.
There are two rules about property held jointly by married couples and civil partners:
1.the 50/50 rule whereby most income from jointly held property is treated as split equally between the two spouses or civil partners for income tax purposes.
2.the form 17 rule wherby, if the true income split is different from 50/50, the couple can opt to be taxed on that basis for income tax purposes.
See:
Property held jointly by married couples or civil partners: Overview: two main rules
Where married couples or civil partners elect not to be taxed 50/50 then the couple should submit evidence of beneficial ownership (e.g. declaration of trust) along with the form 17 to HMRC.
See :
Property held jointly by married couples or civil partners: Form 17 rule - evidence
Thankyou.

RE: UK Tax on Australian Superannuation
Hi Laura Smith
The transfer of money from an overseas bank account to a UK tax account is not in itself a taxable transaction.
Please note, however, that if your client was a resident of the UK when the Australian pension was drawn down, he would have to declare the lump sum as foreign income.
Under those circumstances, your client could of course claim Foreign Tax Credit Relief re: any Australian tax deducted.
Thankyou.

RE: Money transfer
Hi Roman Korshunov
Foreign income and gains are only taxed in the UK when they, or amounts ‘in respect of’ or amounts ‘representing’ those income or gains, are ‘remitted’ to the UK.
If foreign income and gains remain offshore and are never regarded as remitted to the UK, the tax charge is effectively deferred indefinitely.
RDRM31030 - Residence, Domicile and Remittance Basis Manual - HMRC internal manual - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
If this is income that has already been remitted/declared to the UK in the past and you are simply transfering to a UK account now then there is no additional tax charge on the transfer.
Thankyou.

RE: Overseas Remote employee for a UK based employer
Hi
2021 to 2022: Employer further guide to PAYE and National Insurance contributions
Please see 4.6.6 Coding for payroll purposes for non-resident employees who have never been resident in the UK.
You may need to provide a code number in the paying system.
Code ‘NT’ may be used where a business in the UK (or the UK branch or office of an overseas business) employs someone who’s non-resident, and the employee:
is working wholly outside the UK
has not been resident in the UK before
employee does not intend to and will not perform any duties in the UK
A full payment submission (FPS) is not required and there’s no liability for National Insurance contributions.
If the residency position of the employee or the place the duties are performed change so that the employee becomes liable to UK tax, you should immediately stop using code NT.
It appears if all criteria is met your employer can operate without HMRC instruction.
Thankyou.
