HMRC Admin 32 Response

Hi Bishop69,

Provided that your mother is not a UK resident when she dies, the UK rules on Inheritance and Capital Gains Tax, would only apply to her estate that is in the UK.  For example, property or bank accounts.  

How Inheritance Tax works: thresholds, rules and allowances 

If you were to inherit the property or a share of it and then dispose of it while UK resident, you may be subject to captial gains tax on the disposal of your share of the property. You would have to declare this on a Self Assessment Tax Return.

Thank you.

Hi Marco Caselli,

You will claim the split year in your 2022 to 2023 tax return by completing form SA109.

Thank you.

Hi,

You do not need to enter them on the tax return. The calculation will tell you the total amount due for the year, and you subtract the payments on account from that.

Thank you.

Hi Everton Dantas,

There is no double taxation agreement between Brazil and the UK, so income could be taxable in both countries. However, unilateral relief under DT3901 can be applied to interest received.  
DT3901 - Double Taxation Relief Manual: Guidance by country: Brazil: Admissible taxes

You will need to review your residence, domicile and whether the remittance basis can be applied. HMRC cannot advise on whether you are UK tax resident for the year or not. You will need to use the Statutory residence test to determine this on your own personal circumstances.

Guidance can be found here

RDR3 Statutory Residence Test

Tax on foreign income

Savings are themselved not taxable, but interest arising from the savings is. Even if you have paid tax on this in Brazil, it may also be taxable in the UK. Where unilateral relief applies, a foreign tax credit can be claimed.

Thank you.

Hi,

You do not enter the adjusted income figure on the return. It is calculated based on the information you enter on the return. When completing the tailor your return section, you need to answer yes to the question which asks if you made pension contributions.

Thank you.

Hi,

The main effect for UK investors who have invested in non-reporting funds, as opposed to reporting funds, is that on disposal of their interests they will be liable to tax on any gain arising as if it were income (that is, an offshore income gain, or ‘OIG’) instead of as a capital gain.  

IFM12300 - Offshore Funds: introduction: non-reporting funds

There are certain exeptions to this. Further guidance can be found here:

IFM13400 - Offshore Funds: participants in offshore funds: the charge to tax on disposal of an interest in a non-reporting fund

Thank you.

Hi,

It will be declared as Capital Gains. As you will also need to show this on the Capital Gains page, this will then be covered by the annual allowance so no extra charge will be applied.

Thank you.

Hi,

If you qualify for split year then you only report any foreign income for the UK part of the year.

RDRM12000 - Residence: The SRT: Split year treatment

If you do not qualify then you will need to report all your foreign income to the UK.

Tax on foreign income

The guidance at RDRM12150 at GOV.UK will help you work out if split year treatment applies. 

Thank you.

Hi,

Apologies if you are having issues getting through to us to review the code. Unfortunately we can't view your tax code on this forum and you will need to contact our Income Tax team again.

Income Tax: general enquiries

Thank you.

Hi,

You will need need to review the guidance at RDR1 and apply the tests at RDR3, to determine your residence status. If you are deemed resident for the full tax year, then you will need to convert your Hong Kong earnings and tax deducted into pounds sterling and declare on a Self Assessment tax return. If split year treatment applies, you would only declare your UK income from your date of arrival.  

Residence, domicile and the remittance basis: RDR1

Thank you.
