Hi all
I am completing my self assessment return for 2018/19 using the TaxCalc software. I left the UK in January 2019 and took up full time employment in a jurisdiction where there is no income tax. When I left the UK, I filed Form P85 with HMRC to record my departure.
I am classified as UK tax resident for the whole year 2018/19, but I qualify for split year treatment on the grounds of having left the UK to take up full time employment as of January (and I will be non-UK resident for the whole year 2019/20).
My question is, how do I properly record the employment income I received in my new country of residence between January and April 2019 on my self-assessment form? The employment page of the form seems to be geared towards UK employment, since it asks for "Pay from this employment – the total from your P45 or P60 – before tax was taken off", but this isn't applicable to me since my new overseas employer does not furnish me with a P45/P60. If I enter the amount I was paid, the form automatically recalculates my tax and appears to treat this income as taxable, even though it is in the foreign part of a split year.
As this income relates to the foreign part of my split year, do I simply ignore it and not complete an employment page for it, or is there some other way it is meant to be recorded?
Any advice much appreciated!
