*Certain types of investment income from a non-UK source are also known as 바카라 사이트˜relevant foreign income바카라 사이트™.

Resident: Unless the individual is able to use the remittance basis, when they are resident in the UK they are liable to UK tax on the arising basis (AB) of taxation. This means that they are liable to UK tax on all of their investment income, wherever it arises.

Most banks, building societies and other deposit takers in the UK deduct UK tax from interest they pay or credit to an individual바카라 사이트™s account.

Note: From 6 April 2016 the government introduced a personal savings allowance for individuals. Basic rate taxpayers can earn up to £1,000 interest tax free, higher rate taxpayers will be able to earn up to £500 interest tax free.

If an individual is resident but not ordinarily resident in the UK they might be able to arrange to have their interest paid without UK tax being deducted and they might not be liable to UK tax on UK 바카라 사이트 바카라 사이트˜FOTRA바카라 사이트™ securities (Free of Tax to Residents Abroad).

If an individual uses the remittance basis (RB) they are liable to UK tax on all of your investment income from UK sources but any foreign investment income will only be taxed in the UK if it is remitted here.

Not Resident: Although an individual is not resident in the UK they will still be liable to pay UK tax on investment income from UK sources, although there is a restriction on their tax liability for investment income. This restriction is not available for any tax year in which split-year treatment applies. An individual might also be able to receive tax relief under the terms of a double taxation agreement, if one applies.

An individual will not be liable to pay UK tax on any investment income from sources outside the UK.
