Hi
I am currently preparing 10/11 tax return and I have a query in relation to the self-employment section.
In a nutshell, I am a prof entertainer, who has attended events overseas, and currently a UK resident. I have earned UK and overseas income from the respective events and hence have suffered UK and foreign taxes respectively.
My question is can I include withholding tax (i.e. foreign tax suffered) on Box 81?
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/helpsheets/hs303.pdf - says "Box 81 should be used to record the Withholding Tax paid on your income
as an entertainer or sportsperson" I believe that this may perhaps only be applicable to Non-resident foreign entertainer. What about UK resident entertainer?
Furthermore, the notes for self employment section does not provide sufficient details in relation to Box 81
"If any other tax (that is, not CIS deductions) has been taken off your trading income, enter it in box 81. If tax under PAYE has been taken off any amount included in your turnover in box 14, please contact us."
Regards
