Self Assement

Just a quick question, on the Self Assesement form for HMRC, would i need to report dividend payments from investment trusts and REITs, if they fall within the new £5000 dividends rules that come into force last year?


It's not clear in the form or it's guidence notes. I don't want to end up paying tax I don't have too.

  • Yes, you have to report all taxable income when you fill out a self-assessment. That includes dividends even if they fall within the nil rate band.

    Ok thanks for the reply.


    Another one i wasn't sure about it what if I hold an investment trust based on Guernesy which is also a REIT, does this go in the Foreign Dividends section or the place they tell you to REIT's or PAIFs?
