Thank you but you have not answered the question regarding proof of income and wading through the pages it is really about as clear as mud. Do I need to provide proof via a payslip if one is provided or a letter or something for the amount of tax paid or are you able to check with the relevant authorities in that country anyway if you need to? Also I will be paid a lump sum of 10000 USD for expenses/living costs. Do I need to declare this in the UK as it is not taxable in Ghana as far as I know or can any residue just be transferred to the UK without reporting? If I do need to report it, where do I need to report it and do I need to provide any receipts for expenditure?

I will soon be working in Ghana for 2 months on a temp. contract, paid & taxed in Ghana. I am retired & now only pay tax on my pension in the UK, how do I report my overseas income to avoid being taxed twice on it & do I need to provide any sort of proof of the income & tax paid in Ghana or just use the figures shown on my payslip? I do not know if Ghana provide a similar document to a UK P45 when leaving employment. I know there is a double taxation agreement between the UK & Ghana.
