I live in Croatia but rent out my house in UK, so I have to do UK tax returns. My understanding of double taxation was that I could get my personal allowance the same as if I lived in UK because a double taxation treaty exists between UK and Croatia. I don't know if this has changed but this year there was a question on the return that I've not previously completed. I file returns online and it seems I need an additional claim form for the double taxation details. Actually this year for some reason I received a paper form but there was no way I could have got it back to UK by the deadline of October 31 as it only arrived about a week before. It did not include this HS304 claim form in any case. Has anyone here had to deal with this issue?

Bit confused by your post. Are tax domiciled in both UK & CR?
Personal allowance has nothing to do with DT, everyone has it. It sounds like you havent closed your tax domicile in UK, otherwise DT will only be applicable for tax return in CR.

On page RRN 4 of the tax return notes: "Box 15 If you are entitled to claim personal allowances as a non-resident because of the terms of a double taxation agreement". In my case it is box 16 because I'm a British citizen and not a resident of any of the countries listed for box 15.

It could be that I don't need to fill in boxes 20 to 22, perhaps they are for people living in countries not in the list of countries having a DTA with UK? I live full time in Croatia and my domicile has not been listed as UK since 2011.
