Is my income taxable?
Hi all, For the past year or two, almost all of my income has been in the form of gifts. There is a person who is essentially a patron of mine, who pays me to work on my own projects, with no expectation of services in return. So far I've been invoicing the person, putting the income through my books and paying tax on it.…

£1000 or £500 tax free interest ?
Hi all, wondered if anyone can help. I pay some tax at 40% on a monthly basis BUT pay in a substantial one off pension contribution so that I get a tax refund and effectively don't pay any tax at 40% over the year as a whole after the tax refund from HMRC. Does anyone know if that means that I get the full £1,000 tax free…

It’s not a huge amount of money Im owed basically they taxed a one off payment in April at 40%, they’ve already paid me the bulk of tax back, but still taxed a whole 20K at 20% rather than applying a personal allowance. I contacted them in August and they said to fill out an R43 to…

Tax on savings interest - have I miscalculated?
I've just paid my 2023/24 tax bill via self assessment. I have a few one year fixed savings accounts which pay interest monthly, which I counted in my interest savings (I basically used the statements of interest that the banks sent me). However they didn't all mature in 2023/24. Have I done this incorrectly? Should I only…

A different way to advertise rental prices - "Cost plus taxes"?
Hi, (Writing as a landlord) I've noticed for some time how we regularly have new taxes and regulations imposed (by both political persuasions) on "the evil landlords", and somewhat independently stories about "rents are increasing out of control" - with no connection between the two. I'm very conscious that while the rent…

Simple Assessment - under assessed
For the 2023-24 tax year, I was moved from the Self Assessment process to the Simple Assessment process for the first time. HMRC's initial assessment excluded all unearned income. I wrote to them to report this, and they eventually issued a revised assessment. However, for unearned income they only provided an aggregate…

8.75% Basic rate tax on dividends
As I understand it, the basic rate of tax on dividends is 8.75% and does not revert to 20% if you fall into the higher rate bracket. So why has the Inland Revenue's Self Assessment calculation charged my Total Taxable Income for 23/24 (including dividends) at 20% and none at 8.75% before correctly applying 33.75% (the…
