When you transferred your equity from your home sale abroad, did the UK tax man take some of it when you transferred it to the UK bank?
Anyone have link suggestions so I can find out?

No, the UK taxman will not take a slice off the money you transfer from wherever back to the UK when you move from overseas back to the UK (assuming you have been out of the UK for a few years and not just a few months)..

Once the money is in your UK bank account and you earn UK intererst, you have to pay tax on the UK bank interest.

Thats good to know. Thanks.
Now I have to figure out what is needed to transfer money ie, What info on my UK account besides the account number and how the heck all that works (Hopefully the cheapest/ safest way to transfer.)

XE Trade!

( you need to check out the US tax situation as well though.....)

Bank sort code and bank SWIFT number or IBAN number (needed for international payments), AFAIK.

XE Trade will guide her through the process - they are very helpful. (Satisfied customer - no vested interest )

or HIFX they are brilliant

Thats good to know there are satisfied customers.
I'm not ready to sell up and transfer it all right this minute, Dh was asking more questions and I pass all the info on to him. He's a worry wart, married to a worrier. Probably not a good combo
We won't sell till closer to our hopeful 2012 move.

I'd recommend HiFX as well. We've been using them and they're great.

That makes two to check out, thank you.

We always contacted both HIFX and OZFOREX at the same time when transferring money....OZFOREX always offered us a better rate..both good companies though and very helpful...
