Help needed re crossborder taxation NL to UK - WIA IVA

Has anyone dealt with UK tax treatment of Dutch UWV WIA-IVA?

I am looking for practical experience, not formal advice.

Dutch WIA-IVA is a UWV state-administered incapacity benefit for people assessed as fully and durably unable to work. It is paid under the Dutch employee-insurance system, indexed, payable until Dutch state pension age, and capped by the statutory dagloon system rather than being direct continuation of previous salary.

For a future UK relocation, I am trying to understand whether anyone has seen HMRC classify Dutch WIA-IVA as:

1. taxable foreign social-security / incapacity income, or

2. potentially comparable to an exempt UK disability/incapacity benefit under the 鈥渟ubstantially similar鈥� foreign benefit rules.

Has anyone encountered this exact Dutch WIA-IVA / UK tax classification issue in practice?

@GJ Baan

The HMRC view this as income and if you are regarded as being Resident in the UK, you have to declare it to the HMRC.聽 If the total value of all your income does not exceed the UK tax limit (拢12,570), you will not be charged tax on this.

As always, I'm not a tax expert and would advise you to speak to a Tax expert.
