I have a rather complicated question. If I make a time deposit before I became a UK tax resident, so the money used for the time deposit is Clean Capital. But I will get back the original money with interest after I beome a UK tax resident. If I seperate the interest from the original money, will the original money remain to be Clean Capital? Thanks.

Hi,

The window for clean capital in overseas banks (or similar) accounts, ended on 5 April 2019.  

After this date, any income that arises in tax years that the individual is not resident in the UK, is classed as capital and is not taxable, when brought into the UK.  

Any interest that the capital then generates is taxable and should be declared.

Thank you.
