RE: Tax and National Insurance Enquiry (BNO Visa – Overseas Income)
Hi,
As a UK resident, you are taxable in the UK on your remote foreign earnings. You need to declare this income in a Self Assessment tax return each year.
You can register for self assessment here:
Check how to register for Self Assessment
You are required to pay National Insurance contributions on the foreign employment income. You will need to contact our Employers team as you will need to set up a payroll record, so that National Insurance can be deducted.

If the bonus is for work carried out when you were not resident in the UK, then it is not taxable. If part of the bonus was for work carried out while resident in the UK, then that percentage is taxable in the UK in the tax year that the payment arises.
Thank you. -

RE: Claiming cleaning allowance from PAYE job, with Self Assesement 2nd ebay side business?
Hi,
A Self Assessment tax return is used to declare your worldwide income and capital gains arising in a tax year. In the return you would declare your employment and claim employment expenses such as cleaning your uniform.
You also declare your self employment income and self employment expenses and any other sources of income. For example, bank building society interest, pensions, benefits, income from property, foreign income, trust income, capital gains income and many more.
Thank you. -
RE: P85 for past years
Hi,
As you rent out a UK property, then you are required to declare this rental income in a Self Assessment tax return every year. You will also need to complete the residence section, to claim personal allowances to set against your profits. You cannot use the HMRC online return. You would either complete a paper tax return or if you have a government gateway user ID and password, you can buy a commercial tax return that includes residence and submit that online version.
As you are not UK resident, you will be required to have your tennant/property agent collect Income Tax on your behalf.
You could also apply to the non resident landlord scheme to receive UK rental income with no UK tax deducted:

RE: Claiming business expenses in future tax years after ceasing trading
Hi,
The disposal will need to be calculated in pounds sterling using just and reasonable exchange rates that applied at the time you inherited the property and the disposal value. Whether there is a gain or a loss, you will need to report the disposal of the property in a Self Assessment tax return, in the capital gains section of the tax return and again in the foreign section of the tax return, where you can claim up to 100% of a foreign tax credit to set against any UK capital gains liability.
Under the terms of Self Assessment, we do not provide an official exchange rate and the onus is on the individual to use a just and reasonable exchange rate for each acquisition and disposal. For your convenience, there are exchange rates here:
Exchange rates from HMRC in CSV and XML format
and for older rates here:
Foreign exchange rates and spot rates: 1 January 1989 to 31 March 2010
You are free to use any of the supplied rates or one of your own choosing.
Thank you. -
