Keeping Overseas Income Organised And Accurate

If you receive dividends or interest from outside the UK, you’ll need to add this to your Pie App so your tax overview stays up to date. Foreign income can feel a bit complicated, but adding it in Pie only takes a few taps.

Your Step-by-Step Guide

Foreign income includes any payments you receive from overseas sources such as dividends from a non-UK company, interest from an international bank account, or other investment income paid outside the UK. Pie keeps everything simple by letting you record this under Dividends / Interest.

Here’s the quickest way to do it

Select “Dividends / Interest”

This is where all UK and foreign investment income is added. This opens the list of income types you can manually enter.

Enter your income details

Change the income type to “Foreign”

Switching to Foreign tells Pie this income was earned outside the UK so the right tax rules are applied. Also, confirm if tax was removed overseas, select Yes and enter the amount. If not, select No.

Additional step if your foreign income is over £2,000

If the total amount of foreign income you received exceeds £2,000, we’ll need to take a closer look to make sure everything is filed correctly.
