Hi
There is no tax arising on the transfer of savings into a UK bank account.
If the money being transferred is from income arising in the tax year, then this may be taxable.
You will need to read the guidance at RDR1:
Residence, domicile and the remittance basis: RDR1
and then apply the tests which can be found at RDR3:
RDR3 Statutory Residence Test
Once you have determined your residency status and if split year treatment applies, you can then look at your domicile and lastly, whether the remittance basis is appropriate.
If split year treatment applies, then you will need to register for self assessment at:
Register for Self Assessment
You can download and print off the tax returns (SA100) and Residenc supplementary page (SA109), along with any other relevant supplementary pages at :
Self Assessment tax return forms
To convert from a foreign currency to pounds sterling, please use the official rate of exchange at the time of the exchange.
You are free to use the yearly rate, the monthly rate or the spot rate.
If a conversion was undertaken to deposit the money into a UK bank account, then this figure can be used.
The supplementary page SA106 must be completed using pounds sterling only.
The official exchange rates can be found at Exchange rates from HMRC in CSV and XML format - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
