Hi,
I am a UK resident who usually works as a self-employed sole-trader in the UK and complete my own tax return.
I recently went to Australia for 4 months and whilst out there did some employed work for an Australian company. I was paid in AUD$ into an Australian bank account and taxed in Australia. However, I now understand that I have to enter these earnings onto my SA Tax Return and pay UK tax on them also.
Do I need to fill in both the Employment section (with the 000/N PAYE coding) AND the Foreign pages? I'm finding it a little complicated completing the Foreign Tax Credit Relief Working Sheet and thinking I might have to get an accountant to help me.
Also, can I claim my Aussie flights and accommodation as expenses even though I wasn't self-employed whilst in Australia?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Frank
