Step 20
Initial action
1. The tax year in the country of residence may differ to the UK tax year. Before reconciling you will need to determine which UK tax years the remitted income covers. This may not be clear from the information given on the claim form. Where this is not clear, you may need to request the information from the individual
- Ensure Employment Summary details are updated to show all income in payment for the relevant year
- Review Employment P14 Summary Screen to ensure all pay and tax details are shown for relevant year
- Check IABD Summary for any other income
Reconcile years where income has been remitted for the UK tax year
2. Where the individual has stated that income has been remitted to the overseas country from April to April
- The total amount of income remitted to the overseas country is exempt from UK income tax for the UK tax year specified and subsequent tax years
3.
- In IABD Landing, select other form and earliest year as relevant tax year, enter the date of receipt
- Drill down into allowances
- Enter remitted amount as Foreign Pension Allowance
- Save
If the total income remitted to the overseas country is greater than the occupational pension, you should reduce the state pension by the amount the remitted income exceeds the occupational pension
Where there is no state pension, or where the total amount remitted is less than or equal to the occupational pension, go to step 5
4. Drill down into Pensions then into state pensions
- Enter the liable amount of state pension
- Set the Actual NIB indicator
- Select frequency of payment to annual (if not at present)
- Save, then
- Save again
5. Submit

- Save
6. Select where the copy of the repayment calculation is to be issued, Agent / Capacitor / Individual and submit

7. Where the year has already been reconciled, re-reconcile by selecting the tax year then reconcile. This will take you to the Tax Calculation screen. Follow instructions as at step 6
Reconcile earliest year where income has been remitted for a calendar year
8. Where the individual has not stated that the income has been remitted to the overseas country from April to April, assume that the income stated on the claim form was remitted during the overseas country’s tax year. Where the overseas country’s tax year is a calendar year, you will need to calculate how much income was remitted to the overseas country of residence for the earliest tax year
- Determine effective date of exemption; follow Action guide tax80170 and tax80181 Double Taxation Claims
- Apportion the income remitted to the overseas country to calculate the amount which will be exempt from UK income tax for the earliest year
- Calculate the amount remitted from 1 January to 5 April as follows
- In Excel open SEES - other calculators + forms + NPPS - dates calculator
- Select time apportionment tab
Base period- ‘From’ date is the 1 January or date of commencement of the pension if later
- ‘To’ date is 31 December
Amount- Amount remitted
Apportionment Period- ‘From’ date is 1 January or the effective date of exemption (see Action guide tax80170 and tax80181 Double Taxation Claims) if later
- ‘To’ date is the following 5 April
This calculates the amount not liable to UK income tax for the earliest tax year ending 5 April. This amount will be entered as the Foreign Pension Allowance in the earliest tax year reconciliation
- Print a copy of the calculation
You will only need to do this calculation for the first year of remittance
9. In IABD Landing, select other form and earliest year as relevant tax year, enter the date of receipt
- Drill down into allowances
- Enter apportioned amount as Foreign Pension Allowance
- Save
