Hi, starting next tax year 24-25 I should be considered a resident. As i have citisenship for the UK and have just moved here from Australia and will be staying for a few years. I am no longer working or earning anything in Australia but want to transfer my savings from my AU bank account to my UK one. Will I be taxed on this/be considered foreign income? Or since its my savings, and ive paid AU tax on it already, and I earnt it while I was a non resident in the UK can I simply transfer it? I currently dont have a NIN or employed currently. However im still an Australian resident for tax purposes.

Hi a_s1302,
As long as your savings were earned while not resident in the UK, they will be treated as capital and will not be subject to any tax, when transferred to the UK.
Thank you.
