PAYE81072 - PAYE operation: double taxation claims submitted by non resident individuals: cancellation of double taxation relief: reconciling year of cancellation (Action Guide)
To reconcile the year double taxation relief is cancelled, follow steps 1 - 6 below.
The guide is presented as follows
Step 1
Calculate amount of non-liable income
Steps 2 - 3
Steps 4 - 5
Reconcile year of cancellation
Step 6
Initial action
1. Ensure employment records are set up for all pension sources
- Review the P14 SUMMARY / END OF YEAR SUMMARY screen and note full details of the income where exemption had previously been given
- Check IABD summary for other income
Calculate amount of non-liable income
Before reconciling the year, you will need to calculate the amount of income not liable to UK tax. This is the amount of income earned up to the date double taxation relief ceases to be available
Any income for which exemption had not been granted remains fully liable to UK tax for the whole of the year
2. In Excel, select SEES then Other Calculators + Forms + NPPS then Dates Calculator
- Select time apportionment tab
‘Base period’
- ‘From’ date is the start of the tax year in which exemption was cancelled
- ‘To’ date is the following 5 April
- ‘Amount’ is the total amount of income received, as taken from the P14 or P60
‘Apportionment period’
- ‘From’ date is the start of the tax year in which exemption was cancelled
- ‘To’ date is the day before the date of cancellation of the exemption
This calculates the amount that is not liable to UK tax
- Print a copy of the calculation
- Repeat for all income sources that were previously exempt
- Add apportioned amounts together to determine the total amount of non-liable income. Make a note of this amount
For occupational pensions, the total non-liable amount will be entered as Foreign Pension Allowance in IABD
Where no state pension is received or where state pension was not exempt, go to step 4
3. For state pension, only the liable amount is entered in the state pension box
- Calculate the amount not liable to tax in accordance with step 2
- Deduct this amount from the total amount of state pension received. This is the amount that will be entered in the state pension box. Make a note of this amount
Update IABD
4. In IABD Landing, select other form and relevant tax year. Enter date of receipt
- Drill down into allowances
- Enter the amount of Foreign Pension Allowance due, as calculated in step 2
- Save
Where no state pension is received or where state pension was not exempt, go to step 6, otherwise
5. Drill down into pensions and then state pension
- Record the liable amount, as calculated in step 3
- Set the Estimated National Insurance Benefit indicator
- Select the frequency of payment as Annual
- Save, and Save again
