Frequently Asked Questions
How do I file a UK tax return from Australia?
If you live in Australia and have UK rental income, UK workdays, or a split-year move, you must file a UK Self Assessment return (SA100) with supplementary residence pages (SA109). Because HMRC's standard Gov.uk online portal blocks form SA109, Matthew prepares and files your complete UK tax return electronically from our practice for a fixed fee (£295), claiming your £12,570 UK Personal Allowance and providing a clean summary for your Australian ATO tax return.
How does the UK/Australia Double Tax Treaty treat my UK pension in Australia?
Under Article 17 of the UK/Australia Double Tax Treaty, UK pensions paid to an Australian tax resident are generally taxable only in Australia. You can apply for an NT (Nil Tax) code from HMRC so that your UK pension is paid gross without UK PAYE tax deducted.
Do I have to pay Australian tax on my UK rental income?
Yes, Australian tax residents are taxed on their worldwide income. You must report UK rental profits on your Australian tax return, but you can claim a Foreign Income Tax Offset (FITO) for any UK tax paid on that same rental income to prevent double taxation.
What is the Australian Capital Gains Tax implication when selling UK property?
When an Australian resident sells UK property, both HMRC and the ATO require reporting. UK Capital Gains Tax must be reported and paid to HMRC within 60 days of completion. You then declare the capital gain on your Australian tax return in AUD, claiming a tax offset for the UK CGT paid.
