I am a UK resident taking money via bank transfer from a friend overseas to help with mortgage repayment.. the amount can be 50,000 GBP or higher. Is there any tax implications for this or any declaration required in the UK

Hi,
There are no tax implications on the receipt of a cash gift unless they generate interest or dividends.
These would then potentially be subject to tax.
Further guidance can be found here:
Tax on savings interest
Tax on dividends
Thank you

Thanks, is there any limit to the amount annual or per gift? Is there any declaration to make

Hi,
You do not need to make a declaration to us, nor is there any limit on the amount gfited.
Thank you.
