Taxation and residence issues
Hi,
Has anybody got or had any experiences with any of the below? Does the Nationwide Building Society accept a R105 form, pay interest at Gross when you are a non resident?
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/cnr/hmrc6.pdf
10.13.3 Interest from building societies and banks
Most banks, building societies and other deposit takers in the UK deduct UK tax from interest they pay or credit to your account. If you are not resident in the UK or are resident but not ordinarily resident here, you might be able to arrange to have your interest paid without such tax being deducted. You should only do this if you know that you are not going to be liable to UK tax. Whether you can do this will depend on the terms and conditions of the account and whether or not your bank, building society or deposit taker offers this facility. Where this facility is available on an account you complete a 'not ordinarily resident' declaration for the bank, building society or deposit taker (not HMRC) which states that you want your interest to be paid or credited without tax being deducted. If you (or, in the case of joint accounts, any of the people who are beneficially entitled to the interest) become resident or ordinarily resident in the UK, you must tell your bank, building society or deposit taker right away so they can start to deduct tax from the interest paid.
Receiving interest at source
Individuals who are not ordinarily resident may register with their building society, bank or other deposit taker to receive interest without the deduction of tax. You can do this by completing declaration form R105 and sending it to your building society, bank or other deposit taker.

Claiming back personal allowances in the UK from savings interest
If you would like to make a repayment claim for tax already deducted, certain non-resident individuals can claim the UK personal allowance against income liable to UK income tax. If you wish to pursue such a claim, the relevant claim form R43 is available.

Q6: Why am I paying tax in the UK on my income when I am no longer resident there?
A6. Income arising in the United Kingdom will remain liable to United Kingdom income tax. However, depending on your nationality and where you live you may be eligible to:-
make a claim for repayment of United Kingdom Income Tax. More information on Double Taxation Treaties
make an application for exemption from United Kingdom Income Tax. More information on Double Taxation Treaties
use any personal allowances to which you may be entitled to offset some or all of your tax liability. More information on Personal Allowances
Q7. I have a bank/building society account in the UK. Will tax still be deducted from interest if I am non-resident in the UK and can I claim repayment?
A7: From 6 April 1996, where you are treated as not resident for the whole tax year, the liability to tax on interest from a UK bank or building society is limited to the tax deducted at source, if any. However, this is provided that the account is not held in connection with a trade, profession or vocation carried out through a branch or agency in the UK.
If you are not ordinarily resident in the UK, you can apply to receive future interest without deduction of tax by providing your bank with a ‘not ordinarily resident declaration’ on form R105. However, please note that not all banks choose to offer the facility of gross interest to non-residents, so please check with your bank first.
If you would like to make a repayment claim for tax already deducted, certain non-resident individuals can claim the UK personal allowance against income liable to UK income tax. If you wish to pursue such a claim, the relevant claim form R43 is available.
If you do not wish to claim personal allowances, or your personal allowances are used against other sources of UK income, then you may be due tax relief under the terms of any Double Taxation Agreement between the UK and your country of residence.

R105 Gross Registration Form
Nationwide are unable to accept the HM Revenue and Customs R105 form to register accounts for gross interest at a foreign address. If you live abroad and wish to earn gross interest on your savings, you will need to open an account offered by Nationwide International Limited.
R85 (Tax Form)
If you are entitled to receive annual interest with no tax deducted, you can register your accounts by filling out an 'R85' form. A separate form will need to be completed for each account holder who wishes to register for non payment of tax. You can access this form by copying and pasting the following link into your browser:
Whats the difference, and why is it above?

Residence Status
If you are ‘not ordinarily resident’ in the UK you may be able to receive your interest without tax taken off by your bank or building society by completing form R105 (PDF 430K). But not all banks and building societies accept form R105 (PDF 430K). You will need to check with your own bank or building society.
To be eligible to complete form R85 (PDF 72K) the saver must;
Be ‘ordinarily resident’ in the UK.
Not expect to pay tax.
To be eligible to complete form R105 (PDF 430K) the saver must
Be ‘not ordinarily resident’ in the UK.
Anyone know of any banks or buling societys who will accept a R105 Form?
Thank you

Re: Residence Status
Two threads merged and moved here from the Aus forum. As its an issue with UK tax you may get some more answers on here, though I suspect it would be better to consult a taxation expert rather than relying on forum advice.

Cheers,
Anyone submitted one of these?

1. Double taxation - being liable to pay tax in both countries If you have income from one country and are resident in another, you may be liable to pay tax in both countries under their tax laws. To avoid ‘double taxation’ in this situation, the United Kingdom (UK) has negotiated Double Taxation (DT) treaties with countries that include Australia. The precise conditions that apply to your income from the UK as a resident of Australia can be found in the text of the UK/Australia Double Taxation Convention.
2. Purpose of form Australia-Individual 2003 Form Australia-Individual 2003 enables you as a resident of Australia to apply under the United Kingdom/Australia Double Taxation Convention for relief at source from UK income tax on a UK State Pension and UK-source pensions, purchased annuities, royalties and interest. The form also provides for a claim to repayment of UK tax in cases where payments of the income have already been made with UK tax deducted.
