RE: Refund for the tax paid already in both UK and Hong Kong (Double Taxation)
Hi
You can claim foreign tax credit relief for the tax paid in Hong Kong.
An amendment to your tax return with the amount (converted to sterling) will have to be made.
Please see Relief for foreign tax paid (Self Assessment helpsheet HS263)

RE: Paying salary into an employees pension
Hi
When an employee enters into a salary sacrifice agreement, they give up the right to the money and any subsequent contribution into a pension scheme would always be an employer contribution.
There is information at Salary sacrifice for employers.
I would also advise calling the Employer Helpline on 0300 200 3200 for more information as it is not clear exactly what your employee is looking to salary sacrifice and the tax/NIC implications.

Hi Sheprahar,
We cannot comment on scenarios, we can only provide general information / guidance in this forum. Please have a look at section 9 of RDR1: Residence, domicile and the remittance basis: RDR1
This guidance will explain how to calculate the tax liability using the remittance basis, so that you can compare the result to the arising basis and determine which is better for you.

RE: Self-employment
Hi,
No.
If your turnover from self employment exceeds £1000, then you are required to register as self employed.
You will need to keep business accounts, so that you can claim 100% capital allowance, where appropriate.
You can register as a sole trader at:
Become a sole trader: Register as a sole trader
There is guidance at:
Claim capital allowances: Overview on claiming capital. allowances and
bookkeeping requirements at:
Business records if you're self-employed: Overview
From 6 April 2024, the 'cash basis' becomes the default method of keeping your business accounts. You can opt to use the 'traditional method' instead.
Have a look at the guidance at :
Cash basis: Overview
Thank you
