Hello, I am confused by the answer above so I have to ask again. I moved to the UK since March 2025 and before that I worked in France. I don't have UK nationality. Does the money accumulated from my previous job, which was already taxed in France, need to be declared and taxed again in the UK? This job ended before I started working in the UK. In the answers to similar questions in this forum, it is said that this is capital and shouldn't be taxed again. However, the answer to my question mentions Paying tax on a remittance basis, which confuses me because it does not seem applicable to me. Could you clarify this to me? Thank you in advance. Emma

Good morning, I have a similar question. I just moved to the UK from France with global talent visa. I have some money accumulated from my previous job, which was already taxed in France. It is just personal savings so it does not generate interest or anything. I want to transfer the money to my UK bank account for personal use. Is it ok for me to do that? Will it be taxed again? I checked on the website, and the money is from the previous tax year, when I was not a UK resident, so it shouldn't be taxed again. But just to be sure. Thank you in advance.
