Morning, I am from Hong Kong via BNO VISA (to stay and to work for 5 years). My VISA status is not allowed to get public funds. However, may I know if I can apply Marriage Allowance so that my wife can transfer part of her personal tax allowance to me? This is because I am thinking that it is not listed on one of the public funds. Please kindly advise. Thank you very much.

Hiya, Could you please help to advise our case should be case 4 or case 8 of Split Year Treatment? Thank you so much! Our case: 1) We (me and my wife) arrived UK at 1 July 2021 and started to rent a flat from 10 Aug 2021 2) The property of my wife in Hong Kong (which both of us were living before 1 July 2021) was empty until the final completion transaction in May 2022 3) My wife has gone back Hong Kong and stayed in the property before the completion in May 2022 (only home in Hong Kong in this short period) 4) After completion of transaction for her property, she has stayed in another property with her family temporarily and back to UK in Aug 2022 (2.months only) 4) I keep staying in UK did not go back until today 5) Full private residence relief is granted as we asked HMRC advisor before

After checking with the online adviser, they answered that our situation are not required to register Self-Assessment (because I am working in PAYE job and my wife's income is less than GBP1000) so that we only have to report investment income via webchat / phone. In this situation, do we need to apply Split year treatment as there are some income before arrival in UK? Thanks a lot

Thank you very much for quick reply. For my wife, may I know setting up business tax account and sole trader are the same or they are different things that I have to apply seperate? Should my wife also apply personal tax account? or they will be all together? Thanks a lot

In the period between Apr 2021 to Apr 2022, some income come from Bank Interests and Investment Earnings. (Total amount less than £1000) Does wife need to register Self Assessment? If so, which one should she apply? - she want to prove the status of self-employed, is it possible? Does my wife need to pay National Insurance and how to register? Thank you so much and look forward to hearing from you soon.
