Re:How to report cancelled insurances
Hi,
The gain should be reported. How to do this depends on your circumstances:
1. If you are already within Self Assessment you should report the gain in your Self Assessment return.
2. If you are not within Self Assessment but the gain (together with your other savings and investment income) exceeds £10,000, you should register for Self Assessment and report the gain in your Self Assessment return.
See the following guidance on how to register.
When reporting the gain in your return, use supplementary pages SA106
Include the details of the gain under ‘Other overseas income and gains’
3. If you are not within Self Assessment and the gain (together with your other savings and investment income) does not exceed £10,000, you should report it by either:
Contacting Self Assessment: general enquiries
Sending a copy of the chargeable event certificate to Self Assessment, HM Revenue and Customs, BX9 1AS.
Please include your National Insurance number.
Thank you. -

Re:Money from selling property oversea
Hi,
Yes. If you were resident in the UK in the tax year in which you disposed of this property, then you need to report the disposal on a self assessment tax return, for capital gains purposes.
To work out if there is UK capital gains tax to pay on this disposal, requires that you obtain the acquisition cost and expenses, such as solicitors fees, estate agent fees incurred at the time and convert this to pounds sterling, using a just and reasonable exchange rate for the date you acquired the property.
You also need to do this with the disposal value and disposal costs.
You deduct the acquisition cost, expenses and disposal exepenses from the disposal value, to work out the gain.
If this property was your main residence for part of the ownership period, you may be entitiled to claim private residence relief.
Have a look at the guidance at:
HS283 Private Residence Relief (2023).
There is no tax relief available regarding the strength or weakness of exchange rates at different times.
Thank you. -

Re: Australia phased out accepting foreign currency cheques
Hi,
HMRC cannot issue refunds to foreign bank accounts.
You will therefore need to provide details of a nominee that can accept your payment to a UK bank account. you will need to do this in writing and also return the cheque to confirm it has not been cashed.
Thank you.
