YEAR ENDED 5th APRIL 2023
Welcome to the online questionnaire…
2022/23 UK TAX RETURN PREPARATION FEES
The deadline for the 2022/23 Tax Return is 31st January 2024 if filed electronically and the paper filing deadline is 31st October 2023. Late submission will incur a minimum penalty of £100 even if there is a refund due.
Please complete the questionnaire as accurately as possible. Please ensure that you indicate the currency used where possible. When complete, please click Submit in Section 17.
“Cryptoassets” (e.g. Bitcoin) are considered as UK situs assets for tax purposes. This means that the remittance basis would not apply and purchasing these investments could be considered as a deemed remittance if purchased with offshore funds. If you own Virtual Currency, please raise this with your usual PJD consultant.
More information can be found here.
Pension
There has been an increase in the annual allowance from tax year 2023/24, up from £40,000 to £60,000. For those that are higher earners the tapered income allowance is up from £4,000 to £10,000 and adjusted income threshold for tapering the pension allowance is also up from £240,000 to £260,000. The lifetime allowance charge has been removed from 2023 and abolished from April 2024.
The annual exemption for capital gains still stands at £12,300. However, from April 2023, this is reducing down to £6,000 and then to £3,000 from April 2024.
From 6th April 2021, UK residents who owe Capital Gains tax on the disposal of UK residential property, will be required to file a Capital Gains Tax Return and pay any associated tax due within 60 days of completion. This measure will have effect for disposals that were complete on or after the 27th October 2021. If you disposed of a property before this date you have 30 days to file and settle the capital gains.
Any other capital gains tax that has arisen on the sale of other assets that are not an interest in a UK residential property will be payable with the usual Self-Assessment tax return and should not be included with the Capital Gains Tax return submission.
If you are a non-domiciled individual in the UK and claim the remittance basis, you may be able to elect to receive tax relief for capital losses on disposals of any overseas assets. The default position is that remittance basis users cannot use their foreign capital losses in the UK but making a capital loss election would allow you to do so. There are strict rules as to the order in which these can be applied, timing is also important, and the election is irrevocable.
Please consult your usual tax advisor for more details if you are considering making this election.
The working from home allowance (WFH) due to COVID has now ceased. It can now only be claimed in certain circumstances and more details on these can be found here.
From the 6th April 2020, mortgage interest has not been allowable as a rental expense. This has been replaced with a 20% tax credit based on the mortgage interest paid.
For more details on this please click here.
As it stands, EU nationals and those resident in the EEA will still be entitled to a Personal Allowance despite the UK leaving the European Union.
There are adverse tax consequences for UK taxpayers who are owners or beneficiaries of 529 plans. There can be a “dry” tax charge on the underlying investments because these are not exempt from UK tax. If you think you may be affected by this, please consult your regular PJD advisor.
If you believe that any of the above topics may affect you, we recommend consulting your regular PJD Tax representative who will provide you with further information.

If you are not domiciled in the UK, you have the option to claim the remittance basis, meaning you are not required to report your foreign income on your UK tax return if it has remained outside of the UK.
