Remittance to the UK from prior years

[abhijitjoshi]

Hi, I have a query about remittance of foreign income to the UK. If started working in the UK in 2003 and became domiciled in the UK in 2008. Since the tax year 2008-09, I have been paying tax on my foreign income on an arising basis. I now wish to remit my money from 2003-2007 i.e. when I was not domiciled and did not pay any tax because I did not remit any income. How should this be declared on my self assessment? Would it be under "Remitted foreign savings income"?

Yes, assuming it is savings income (i.e. interest)

When remitting foreign income to the UK, the tax treatment depends on your domicile status and the tax years involved. Although domicile is a complex legal concept, its determination can have significant tax implications. Since you mentioned that you became domiciled in the UK in 2008, it's important to consider the relevant tax rules before that date and after.

For the tax years 2003-2007, when you were not domiciled in the UK and did not remit any income, it's generally not necessary to declare this income on your UK self-assessment tax return.

When completing your self-assessment tax return, you should focus on reporting your income for the relevant tax years based on the rules in place at the time. This might involve declaring your foreign income earned after becoming domiciled in the UK and any relevant tax liabilities associated with it.

They absolutely have to declare their previously unremitted but now remitted income?
