Remittance to UK

Postby denaliturtle » Thu Oct 16, 2014 12:21 pm

Hi

I am resident non domiciled in the UK and on a taxed on a non remittance basis.
I brought a gift of 50K EUR to the UK from Switzerland to invest with a UK broker. This money was given to me abroad and put on an account in Switzerland which was receiving interest and dividends from other investments. By bringing this into the UK do I need to pay tax on any dividend/interest on the Swiss account while the money was sitting there as the funds brought in to the UK are not "clean"?
Thanks.

Yes, UK tax is in principle due on the income credited to the account post UK residence arising on remittance.

Essentially, the account is a so-called "mixed fund" and there are then UK tax rules to determine what has been remitted from an account which comprises (as in your case) monies from a gift, interest and dividend income.
