I,ve recently had dealings with HMRC and not impressed.Most of our investments are overseas, but some in the UK. Interest is payed into a UK account and was being taxed. COntacted HMRC and explained I lived in France and declared all income in France.They sent me a form re double taxation which I took to my local tax office,got an official stamp and returned it to HMRC.Job done I thought.Then interest contiuned to be taken on UK investments,so contacted HMRC and they now said I must pay the tax then fill in a self assesment form each April and claim it back!!! Keeps people in work I guess.
