lozzachino Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Hi, does anyone know when you can complete your uk tax return for the previous year? Does it automatically open up on the self assessment online on 6 april or is there a delay? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Online filing of UK tax returns is usually possible immediately after the end of the UK tax year - ie on the 6th of April. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm not sure of your circumstances. We have used http://www.taxcalc.com/ for the software to file. For some reason (maybe because we live abroad but can't quite remember) we couldn't do the regular self-assessment on the HMRC website that we usually did when we lived in the UK. That software is fine if things are fairly straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Collett Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hi again lozzachino. How do you go with lodging the Residence supplement (form SA109) via the HMRC portal? The SA109 is here: http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/forms/sa109.pdf Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozzachino Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Oh no what is this? Never heard of it. Only submitted the non residents landlord form before we left and then our subsequemt tax returns for the last tax year as requested by hmrc. what is this form for?

Alan Collett Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Have a look at the form - it advises/confirms your tax residency status insofar as the UK is concerned. It is also the mechanism by which you claim your UK personal allowance as a non-UK resident individual. How do you claim your UK personal allowance? Best regards.

lozzachino Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 Havent seen this before. We aren't claiming a personal allowance in the uk as we have no earnings in the current tax year besides one month salary for my husband. Our rental property is running at a major loss this year and we have no chance of actually earning an income from it until we sell it. i looked at the help page for how to fill the form in, it was 24 pages long! They dont like to make things simple do they! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont like to make things simple do they! I hope I'm doing my UK tax return properly every year. I fill it in on line (by 31 January so beat it by two days for 2012/13.) I guess if it is too complicated to do it yourself, then find an accountant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lozzachino Posted February 4, 2014 Author Share Posted February 4, 2014 We do the online self assessment as requested by hmrc after we notified them we were emigrating via the non resident landlord form. They requested i do two years of self assessment rerturns, and my husband was requested to only do 2012/13, all of which have been done submitted and i even got a refund from two years ago, a whole 12 quid! not come across this form before, so wondering if its because they dont want us to know we can still claim a personal allowance? Can we? Didnt think we could if we did not live or work there for any part of the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Collett Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 The UK personal allowance is available to UK citizens - as well as Australian citizens - even if not resident in the UK. Lodging this supplement advises HMRC of your non-UK residency status. If it isn't completed I anticipate the assumption on HMRC's part is that you are a UK resident, which can give rise to a different tax treatment of your income and capital gains. My view is that the SA109 should be lodged by anyone who is a non-UK resident individual who has a Self Assessment tax return to lodge. It removes any ambiguity about how you consider yourself in a UK tax residency sense. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
