Reporting Foreign Income

If you are a UK tax resident, you are typically taxed on your worldwide income. This guide explains how to report your overseas income and claim relief to prevent double taxation.

You must report any income from overseas sources on your Self Assessment tax return, using the 'Foreign' (SA106) supplementary pages.

What to Include

Foreign income can include:

  • Earnings from employment overseas.
  • Profits from a foreign business.
  • Rental income from an overseas property.
  • Interest from foreign bank accounts.

Claiming Foreign Tax Credit Relief

To avoid being taxed twice on the same income, you can claim Foreign Tax Credit Relief (FTCR) for any foreign tax you've already paid. This credit is offset against your UK tax bill on that same income. Taxd will guide you on where to enter both the foreign income and the foreign tax paid to ensure the calculation is correct.
