HMRC Admin 21 Response

Hi UKHC,
I can only provide general information / guidance on this forum. For an answer to a detailed question of this nature, you would need to contact our Self Assessment helpline: Self Assessment: general enquiries, or seek professional advice.
Thank you.

Hi UKHC,
Please refer to HS321 Gains on foreign life insurance policies (2024).
Thank you.

Hi Hui,
The question " The Service Centre address where your latest tax return was filed and the date your latest tax return was filed", relates to your IRS tax return and not your UK tax return.  (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/5de8de99ed915d09d0f7fded/Form_US-individual_2002.pdf) (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6384bc43e90e077898ccb48a/DT_US_Individual_Notes.pdf).
Thank you.

Hi Susan F,
The guidance at DT4617, advises that 'Where a UK resident makes a lump sum withdrawal from a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or a Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIF), Canada imposes a 25 per cent withholding tax'. DT4617 - Double Taxation Relief Manual: Guidance by country: Canada: Withdrawals from Canadian RRSPs/RRIFs.  No tax credit relief is allowable, which means that the full lumpsum is taxable in both Canada and the UK.  You can, however, claim a foreign tax credit relief of up to 100% of the foreign tax deducted, against your Uk tax liability. 
Please also have a look at DT4605 DT4605 - Double Taxation Relief Manual: Guidance by country: Canada: Notes which explains why no tax relief is due for tax paid in Canada.
Thank you.

Hi Tayah_5612,
If you have a Personal Tax Account you can do this yourself.
However I suspect that you will not have been able to open one due to the error on your name. If this is the case, you can contact the NI helpline on 0300 200 3500. Lines are open 8am – 6pm Monday to Friday and they will be able to correct your NI record.
Thank you.

Hi Tim,
Depending on whether you are paying from the timescales are as follows:
International caseworker (countries outside the EU and EFTA) are currently working on post received 25 Feb 2024
Our EU teams are working on post received 16 October 2023.
This is will have no impact on the rates or late paid notations when we allocate the payment to the NI record.
Thank you.
