US Income Tax on UK Premium Bond Winnings?
Does anybody know whether as an LPR am I liable for US income tax on UK Premium Bond winnings? I don't intend to repatriate any of the funds, but I guess that makes no difference at all if I am liable.

I think, if you declare it- it will probably come under gambling earnings, which means you'll get clobbered for up to 60% tax (like lottery wins).
Keeping the money in UK- you only have to declare bank accounts with balances of 10,000 or over (at least that's what it used to be). Banks in the UK now have to inform the IRS of account holders interest earnings etc...banks offshore, eg Jersey, don't..... I don't know about Endowment policies- but one of mine (tax free in UK) matured a few years back and I just banked the cheque in Jersey. I figured Uncle Sam made so much out of us during the 8 years we waited for our green cards (and got flipping creamed taxwise), he owed us one LOL. |

Nettie they just automatically invest it into more bonds.... Usually just 50 or 100 GBP though ..never had a big win yet... |

They advised I didn't have to pay tax on the gains made by the ISAs but they were not 100% certain of this - however I also had losses that could be set against the gains even if I did have to declare them so they didn't feel it was a risk for me to interpret things this way - their advice may have been different if I had not had the fall back. This was from one of the big corporate tax companies paid for as part of my relocation - we're on our own next year :eek: |

Ernie told me that I had to sell my quota of premium bonds when I moved to the US as they were not allowed under the US postal rules to send lottery winning by US mail.?? I suppose I could have re-invested.
I never really had any decent winnings so I wasn't that bothered. |

We'd just left ours with my Mums UK address on cos it was easier, and she pops the winnings in the bank when they arrive - running about 4% return at the moment...slightly less than the bank, but theres always the chance of the big one..... |
