Foreign self-employment/freelance?

UK resident who is a part-time model abroad

Didn't find your answer?

Hi

I am completing a tax return for a client who is a UK resident. He normally is a self-employed builder and we complete SE accounts for him. In the 2015/16 tax year and onwards he has begun spending 3-4 months a year in Milan/Rome modelling.

The earnings from the modelling work are all paid to him gross with corresponding expenses. Do we declare this on the UK self-employment pages as he is a UK resident and I guess could work anywhere int he world including the UK as part of this business. We can then just claim any foreign tax credit relief on the foreign pages if applicable.

Alternatively, do we class this as other earnings as freelance work? Or does it out and out go on the foreign pages as other incomeĀ - however, i'm not sure that we could claim all the expenses this way?

Any help much appreciated.

Foreign self employment income should be reported in the same way as for the UK.
