  • RE: Receiving gift money from parents in UK when a tax resident abroad

    Hi, My parents residing in Bahrain with no UK assets, would like to send me money from their overseas account for meeting the maintenance costs of the house I recently purchased in the UK. My queries are as follows: 1. Will I be liable to pay tax for the money received into my UK current account, from my parents residing in Bahrain? 2. Is there a limit to the amount they can send to me ? 3. I am currently in the process of applying for citizenship in the UK, will receiving money from my parents in Bahrain cause any hindrance in the UK citizenship application process ? Thank you in advance.
