Hello, I'm in the same position too. Here are the results of my research on the subject: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/gains-on-foreign-life-insurance-policies-hs321-self-assessment-helpsheet/hs321-gains-on-foreign-life-insurance-policies-2023 https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/insurance-policyholder-taxation-manual/iptm3730 As you can see by following the two links above, there are many special cases and caveats, but to summarise the main points: - The gains are taxed as income. - You can apply time apportioned reductions to reduce the amount of tax you need to pay if either the beneficiary (if the policy was issued after 6 April 2013) or the policyholder (if the policy was issued before 6 April 2013) was not resident in the UK for any part of the period since the policy was taken out. In my case, as I understand it, as the policies were issued before 6 April 2013, and the policyholder was never a resident in the UK, I shouldn't have to pay any tax. I would be glad if someone else could confirm this, or let me know if my understanding is flawed.
