Re: UK State Pension - Income Tax for Malaysia Residents
Personally, I don't think that will work. The problem is having UK income which, with the pension, takes Mrs JC3 into the taxable band. Presumably HMRC know she is non-resident but will not look beyond that as to whether she is taxable in her host country or not (how could they know). Any relief would only be available against any tax due in the host country and then only if there is a DTA between the UK and the host country which specifically provides for this. Intermediary bank accounts are of no significance tax-wise.
Regrettably, JC3, and much as it sticks in the craw, I think you have to write the cheque.

Yes. I believe everything you say above is correct. Thanks.
Hi BB,
Getting Mrs JC3 to write a cheque is not a good option - I know which side my bread is buttered!
That said, I'm now switching to ballpoint, as my tears keep smearing the ink.
