  • RE: Inherited house and money abroad (EU)

    Hi Matteo,
    As there is no income from the house you do not need to declare it. For the money, you do not declare the actual inheritance but if any interest is then generated from it then you need to declare that.
    Thank you.

  • RE: CGT for name withdrawal

    Hi DaddyPaul,
    Capital gains would be due as this is still seen as a disposal/part disposal of each persons share. You would need to formal claim under CG70523 to show that only you would be liable. as its a UK property, it does not matter that you live abroad as the gain still needs to be declared.
    Thank you.

  • RE: How to report capital gains losses for previous years when no capital gains for this year

    Hi Declan 1969,
    You need to report any capital losses within 4 years of the tax year in which they arise in order that they can then be noted and used at a later date. as the date you refer to are outwith this period, if not previously notified to HMRC you cannot  now use them.
