Just when I thought I knew what I was doing, a friend gives me a copy of April's Connextion with a step by step guide to filling out the main forms. I am now confused (unless I am not reading it correctly) as under the section headed "UK interest (bank and building society, PEP and ISA, National Savings and premium Bond winnings)", the advice is, "add together all of the NET interest and winnings for both spouses , from all sources, by country of origin" Can someone confirm that NET interest is correct - I thought everything was declared gross. If net is correct could someone explain to this dim wit why. Thanks in advance, Christina    Report

If you have bank or building society interest net of tax (but not the others you mention as these are already paid gross) you will then have to reclaim the tax deducted via HMRC.

REVENUS DES VALEURS ET CAPITAUX MOBILIERS ET REVENUS ASSIMILÉS  2 - REVENUS DES VALEURS MOBILIÈRES ÉTRANGÈRES ET REVENUS ASSIMILÉS.  Put the gross figure in Column 5 under Royaume Uni, then transfer the total across to box TS on the form 2042.  You can now contact your UK bank/building society to ask them to pay your future interest gross.  If they refuse, then you can claim a refund of the UK tax each year via HMRC.  That's it for the savings interest. when  you say "enter your gross savings on form 2047" I presume you mean gross amount of interest earned, not the amount of savings in the account. Is that right? Or have I misunderstood? Maybe you could make it clearer for me? please? Sorry if I am being a dunce... Danny specialist flute repair    Report
