Just would like to confirm - I can report my tax online for SA100, SA102, SA106 then post the SA109 to HMRC?? Or I need to switch to paper form and post all the forms to you?? Thanks.

Hi HMRC, Thanks for your reply. However, in Box 3.1 of SA109, it asks me to put a "X" if more than 1 case of split year treatment applies. Is it mean that there is chance that I could meet more than 1 case, please? Thanks. Best Regards, Ed

Hi HMRC, Thanks a lot. One final question (hopefully), if I use spot rate, there are two rates (Mar2024/Dec2023) available covering the tax year 2023-2024. May I know is there any rule to determine which I should use? Thanks. Best Regards, Ed

Hi HMRC, I am filing my tax self assessment online. However, I need to apply for split year treatment but it appears that there is no option in the online system to apply for such treatment. May I know how can I apply for it online? Or I must apply for paper return for such application? Thanks. Best Regards, Ed

Hi HMRC, I am a bit confused by Case 4 (RDRM12150) and 8 (RDRM12270) of split year treatment. I am a tax resident in 2023-2024 but not in 2022-2023; and I have no tie and never been to UK before the split year date. I have no property owned worldwide but just rented one in UK from 1 Aug 2023 to now. My question is: can I both meet the criteria for Case 4 and Case 8 (for split year from 1 Aug 2023)?? Thanks. Best Regards, Ed

Hi HMRC, May I know which field I should report for investment bond issued by Hong Kong Government (i-bond), please? Dividend or capital gain or interest or other? Thanks a lot. Best Regards, Ed

Hi HMRC, Thanks for your reply. Yet, for the exchange rate, the link above was last updated on 31/3/2023. May I have the rates for this 2023-2024 tax year, please? Thanks. Best Regards, Ed

Hi HMRC, I am a tax resident but I have only been in UK for 7 months in tax year 2023-2024. Yet, my employer deduced the tax (basic rate) from my salary as if I worked for the whole tax year. I don't have other full time job. May I know:- (1) Do I need to fill in the SA102? (2) The tax is over-charged and may I know how to claim the overcharged tax? Thanks a lot. Ed

Hi HMRC, I have some stocks in Hong Kong that generate some dividends. I am a tax resident in the year 2023-2024 paying basic rate. I have a few questions: (1) Is there any allowance for dividend? If yes, how much for the 2023-2024? (2) If there is an allowance, do I need to report the dividends if it is LESS than the allowance (I have other foreign income like bank interest to report)? (3) If I need to report, I should be reporting in SA100. Should I also need to file a SA106, please? (4) Finally, what is the exchange rate as the dividends were in HKD. Thanks a lot for your kind assistance. Best Regards, Ed

Hi HMRC, I am currently living in Hong Kong and never been to UK. I am planning to move to UK in about 2026 and I have just opened a bank saving account in UK. To better prepare for my migration, I plan to transfer some of my money to UK now. I would like to know whether I need to pay for personal income tax (or any other tax) for the interest arise from my saving for year 2023-2024 and 2024-2025. Many thank.
