Non-Res, Non-Dom working full time in AUSTRALIA

[hopenwell]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice and clarification from you guys if anyone is able to help...

I am non domiciled and non resident (as per the 3rd overseas test).

I worked full time in Australia and earned around GBP30,000 in a tax year, and i paid about GBP5,000 in tax to the AU government. I remit non of this to the UK.

I also have a UK property which i let out for GBP4,500 per year, which I am yet to pay tax on.

As far as I can tell, I have filled out the relevant forms correctly, using the arising basis of taxation, but the computer program i'm using estimates that I need to pay GBP3,000.

There's a DTA agreement between the UK and AU, yet it seems like I'm paying a tonne of tax.

I'm aware that it's not this easy, but I've done some simple tax calculations and I should apparently be paying something like GBP5,000 all up, so not sure why they're asking so much from me.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Don't put the AUS income in your UK return if it is not liable to UK tax.

If your only UK income is the £4,500 rental income, then you shouldn't have to pay any UK tax as you would be entitled to a UK personal allowance assuming of course you are a Australian National/Resident.
