Mix of foreign and UK earnings?

Mix of foreign and UK earnings?

As above. Any answer will depend on:
Residency. You don't mention which country you live in now, presumably UK? There's a difference between tax resident and ordinarily resident, you'll need to work out which country for which year. And Norway tax year may complicate any year that you move.
Domicile. Presumably you're British (and your father is), but if not (and if you're non-domiciled) then tax in the UK is on earnings repatriated, so this may make a difference.
Earnings source. Depending on source in Norway, your client(s) may be required to deduct withholding tax.

It's not that complex, but you do need a chat with an accountant on practicalities on what is reported where, which will in turn depemd on residence and UK<>Norway Double Tax Agreement.

It's a little too involved to get into in anonymously on a free forum, as there are ifs and buts.

What does your accountant say?

I'm afraid that's the answer. I have been in a similar situation and it all comes out in a properly completed Self-Assessment form at the end of the year. For which you want an accountant.


BTW I don't see what months have to do with it. In the UK at least, tax is on an annual basis, anything that happens monthly is effectively recalculated at the end of the year, so I don't think you have to "sort out TAX/NI for those occasional months". Not until the end of the tax year anyway.

As well as getting an accountant to do your SA form, you can always call HMRC. It may take a little while to get someone who grasps your situation, but they will give you a good impression of whether they are happy with the end-of-year SA thing or whether they are looking for you to do something before that. It is not the be-all and end-all but it is always comforting to know that Hector is just cool about what you are doing; which happens more often than not, if you just keep in touch.

Between Feb 2014 and April 2015 I have been working for myself in Norway. Tax and NI have been paid to Norway as required. I am in the process of retiring, with a little more work over the next few months, but not much. Some UK , some US, maybe some in Norway.

If I have a single complete month with NO work actually performed in Norway, but working at home, how on earth do I sort out TAX/NI for those occasional months?
My UK taxable income for 2015-2016 will be nominal, probably under £10K. I can't find anything useful on HMRC? Any ideas welcome
