Money from sale of grandfathers property in India has been distributed to various members of the family upon his death. Tax has been paid in India. Cash is now sitting in Indian bank account. If the inherited cash is transferred to the U.K. will any U.K. tax become due? The person transferring the funds is a British citizen. Sum is around £19k
