  • Re:How to Pay Voluntary National Insurance Contributions from Abroad

    Hi Moray,
    Our International Team are currently dealing with queries received on 10 February 2023 so it may take about 47 weeks for them to reply to you from the date that we received your CF83 application form.  
    If you’d like to speak with the National Insurance Helpline on 0300 200 3500 they will be able to give you a better estimate when you might expect a reply.
    Thankyou.




     
  • Re: How to Pay Voluntary National Insurance Contributions from Abroad

    Hi Keith,
    You could send in your CF83 application form into HMRC and around the same time contact The Pension Service to check what tax years are best to pay for.  
    When you receive a reply from your CF83 then you will be in a position to make an informed decision of the tax years that you want to pay for. 
    Our International Team are currently dealing with queries received on 9 February 2023 so there could be a delay of about 47 weeks from the date that we receive your CF83.  
    We can advise that you will not be penalised because of HMRCs delay and you will be given an extended time limit to pay if the reply is issued to you close to the payment due date.
    Thankyou.

  • Re: Rental income transfer to my wife

    Hi,
    In relation to whether a SEV Form/ restriction to change to tenants in common, as transfer of deed is not taking place, we would expect that this would not be necessary but we would advise to contact the Land Registry direct as this forum is based on income from property queries.
    As the property is held in joint names and you wish to declare uneven interests, the Form 17 would be the appropriate form to complete alongside the declaration of trust/ deed of trust.
    Thankyou.
  • Re:RE: Property allowance

    Hi,
    I would advise you that there is not an actual Overpayment Relief claim form as such so you would just need to submit a letter claiming Overpayment Relief for the tax years in question.
    Please ensure that this  claim letter is in the correct format as per the guidance at:
    SACM12150
    Thankyou
  • Re:Running the Limited company in UK as a non-resident

    Hi,
    Companies are incorporated in the UK through Companies House (which is a separate office to HMRC) and you should contact them in the first instance regarding forming a company while not resident in the UK.
    Information when setting up a limited company which you may find useful, particularly under "register as an overseas company" which advises that you do not need to register if you do not have a base in the UK.
    A company registered for corporation tax is required to submit company tax returns, statutory accounts and computations anually.  
    There may also be requirements to register for other taxes such as VAT.  
    It is not really possible to list all necessary requirements in a hypothetical situation and I would recommend taking independent financial advice regarding your obligations.
    You will need to establish, for example, whether you will have economic activity in the UK.  
    There is a difference between a non-resident company that is trading from abroad with customers in the UK, and one that is actually trading in the UK.   
    Thankyou.
