  • RE: Sending money from abroad to UK account

    Hello, I am a UK resident on a skilled worker visa since May 2022. I have about £ 25k savings in my home country (Brazil) that I would like to transfer over to my UK bank account. Before May 2022 I was in UK on a student visa from Jan 2020 to May 2022. From Jan 2020 to May 2022 I was still paying taxes in Brazil, I only transferred my tax residence to UK when I acquired my Skilled Worker visa in May 2022. Would my taxes apply only on the interests or the capital? If it's only over the interests, which period should I pay taxes for? Thanks, I appreciate your help
