SA109 : How do I add a Personal Allowance if I am Non Resident? Can I claim the Personal Allowance?

If you are Non Resident and entitled to claim the Personal Allowance, you need to claim this in the Residency pages.

then click on the Personal Allowances Tab and complete the relevant boxes (15 and/or 16).



A table below should help you determine which box is relevant but you should also do you own research to ensure this is correct. For the special rules, we suggest you seek advice, if you are unsure what the special rules are:
