  • RE: selling on ebay

    Hi,
    Please see:
    Check if you need to tell HMRC about your income
    This advises: 
    When you are telling HMRC about your income, you will need to report the income for the tax year, which is from 6 April to 5 April the following year.
    Some online platforms will show your income for the calendar year, from 1 January to 31 December. If this is the case you will need to work out the income for the tax year before using the tool.
    Thank you.

  • RE: Tax on bank interest when there is no other income

    Hi,
    Three allowances allow you to earn interest before you have to pay tax:  
    •    Your Personal Allowance– the standard Personal Allowance is £12,570, which is the annual amount of income you do not have to pay tax on.  
    •    The starting rate for savings means you may also get up to £5,000 of interest and not have to pay tax on it if your other income is less than £17,570. Every £1 of other income above your Personal Allowance reduces your starting rate for savings by £1. If your income is above £17,570, you are not eligible for the starting rate on savings. More information available on GOV.UK.  
    •    The Personal Savings Allowance allows you to earn up to £1,000 of interest, without paying tax, if you are a basic rate tax payer. This is reduced to £500 if you are a higher rate tax payer and zero if you are an additional rate taxpayer.  
    •    All Self Assessment customers are required to declare any interest received on their tax return, regardless of whether it falls within the Personal Allowance, Personal Savings Allowance or starting rate for savings. These will be applied when the total tax charge is calculated.
    Please find further guidance at: 
    Check if you need to send a Self Assessment tax return.
    Thank you.
  • RE: Do I have to do a Self Assessment?

    Hi, 
    You do not need to register for Self Assessment if you have savings and investment income of below £10,000 a year, but if you are already in Self Assessment, you would have to report and pay that way.  
    If you have a PAYE tax code, HMRC will deduct any tax due using this.  
    If you owe Income Tax that cannot automatically be taken out of your income; or you owe £3,000 or more, HMRC may send you a Simple Assessment, setting out what is owed. 
    Pay your Simple Assessment tax bill.
    Thankyou.
     
  • RE: CA3821 questions

    Hi,
    The CA3821 should be completed using the current position.
    Therefore, if you have already moved abroad you will be classed as an employee abroad.
    As you are already overseas you will not be included in the number your company intends to send in the next 12 months.
    The reason they have given for you working overseas should be sufficient, however the team may ask further questions.
    Thank you.
  • RE: A1 form

    Hi MariaC,
    Based on the information provided it looks as though you are actually completing an A1.
    The A1 can only be completed by a National Insurance/ Social security department.
    You would need to complete an application form in order for HMRC to issue the A1.
    It may be beneficial if you applied for the multi state A1.
    For this form you would need to complete the CA8421, this form can be issued for up to 2 years.
    While completing the application it will ask if you have more than one nationality, and therefore will allow you to supply both. 
    Thank you.
