  • Taxation on transferring US Income (earned while being a non-UK resident) to the UK

    I plan on moving to the UK sometime in March 2024. Based on that move-in date, I will be a non-resident in the UK for the tax year of April 2023 - April 2024. My spouse is currently studying in the UK for the past 6 months and hence she is a resident in the UK. Both of us are non-UK domiciled. Through my previous employer in the US, I have earned money (through wages and sold vested RSUs) and have paid taxes on this income already in the US (while I am a non-UK resident). 1. Do I need to pay taxes in the UK on this money, if I send it to my spouse's UK bank account? 2. Do I need to pay taxes in the UK on this money, if I send it to my my UK bank account (once I open one on arriving in the UK)?
