What's this page about?

Use this form to enter details of cashbacks from mortgages and other sources.

The client may have to pay tax if they have:

  • received cash
  • received an asset, e.g. a car
  • had any personal liabilities waived or paid for on their behalf

as an incentive to take out a mortgage or to purchase an asset. They may be taxed on the amount/value of what they have received, or had waived/paid on their behalf. If the true nature of the payment is of a capital sum derived from an asset, then the cashback is chargeable to Capital Gains Tax. They should be entered in the Capital gains section of the Annual Data Navigator.

Cashbacks are taxed as miscellaneous income (formally under Schedule D, III or Schedule D, IV).
