SolvedPAYE81057 | PAYE operation: double taxation claims submitted by non resident individuals: example of remittance calculation
From HM Revenue & Customs · PAYE Manual
Different countries have different fiscal years.
Where a claim is received which has not specified the income is remitted for a UK tax year (April to April), you can assume that the income has been remitted to the overseas country in respect of that country’s fiscal year.
Only when a new claim is received which shows that the income remitted to the overseas country of residence differs each tax year, will you need to calculate the exempt amount for each tax year.
Example 1
Calculating relief due for first year DT relief applies
Individual resident in Malta where the tax year runs from 1 January to 31 December
Pension commenced prior to departure from UK
DT relief available from 1 January 2008
£8,000 remitted to Malta between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008
In order to calculate remitted amount for 2007-08, follow step 1
Step 1

Example 2
Calculating relief where amount remitted overseas varies each year. Where a claim is received that shows a different amount is remitted overseas each year, the amount of DT relief needs calculating for each year accordingly

£8,000 remitted to Malta between 1 January 2008 and 31 December 2008
