Hi everyone
This query will undoubtebly be quite simplistic to some of you I'm sure, but I have little experience in terms of US pensions and taxation in the UK, so a pointer in the right direction would be appreciated :)
The issue is as follows:
- individual has a small US pension of circa £2.5k per year.
- he completes a joint tax return in the US along with his wife - where he lists the pension income under 'Social Security Benefits' there is minimal US tax payable on the US return
My question is should I include the income on his UK tax return and if yes, would the tax return be taxable in the UK? If anyone has a link to the relevant page of the HMRC manual it would be appreciated.
TIA for all your help

Would have to make assumptions as there is not enough information in your question.
Firstly though, you asked for a pointer, have you read the DTA?
