Hi, I think this should be covered under the double tax agreement with the country the property was sold in. You will need to check the specific arrangements the country has with the UK on this though.0

Hi Lewisham_lass, Thanks for your reply. The country with double tax agreement is India. As mention initially, the sale was taxed at 18%. The proceeds were repatriated to the UK. In the current year, Foreign income will be declared. My question is should the tax at 20% be calculated or the difference (20-18) and paid to HMRC?
Regards
