You may receive the following error after checking your tax return:
HMRC Exclusion #57: In certain circumstances, where a taxpayer is a non-resident and in receipt of 'other dividend' income of INC5 or Bonus issues of securities and redeemable shares in AOI13 or Partnership dividend income or Trust dividend income, will not receive the 7.5% tax treated as paid to identify maximum tax payable in the non-resident calculation....
There is a workaround to enable you to file the tax return online if the dividend income is in:
HMRC mode > SA100 Core Return > Page 3 > box 5.
SimpleStep mode > Other income > Savings and investments > Shares and unit trusts > Dividend distributions from UK Unit trusts/OEICs.
HMRC has advised that you can transfer the income from:
HMRC mode > SA100 Core Return > Page 3 > box INC5-Other dividends to box INC4-Dividends from UK Companies whilst also adding the details of the amounts to box 19-Any other information on page TR7.
SimpleStep mode > Dividend distributions from UK Unit trusts/OEICs to Dividends and other qualifying distributions from UK companies whilst also adding the details of the amounts to Any other income > Additional information > Click here.
If you have other dividend income elsewhere on return, you will need to file a paper return.
An example of a scenario which will trigger Exclusion 57 is shown below:

The £30,000 of dividend income has been entered into:
HMRC mode > SA100 Core Return > Page 3 > box 5.
SimpleStep mode > Other income > Savings and investments > Shares and unit trusts > Dividend distributions from UK Unit trusts/OEICs.
and no notional tax @ 7.5% has been deducted. You will see that calculation A results in £2,100 tax being due.
If instead the £30,000 dividend income is entered into:
HMRC mode > SA100 Core Return > Page 3 > box 4.
SimpleStep mode > Other income > Savings and investments > Shares and unit trusts > Dividends and other qualifying distributions from UK companies.
the results are:
|

As the notional tax has now calculated correctly, the tax due is reduced to nil and the return can be filed online - remember an explanation should be entered into:
HMRC mode > SA100 Core Return > Page 7 > box 19.
