RE: Transferring personal money to UK
Hi ROBERT,
We cannot answer your question.
You will need to review the guidance at RDR3 (RDR3 Statutory Residence Test.
The outcome of those tests will determine how many days you can remain in the UK and be Tax non resident for the whole tax year.
Thank you. -

Hi,
There are no tax implications on the giving or receipt of cash gifts, but you may wish to speak to inheritance tax department regarding any inheritance tax implications (How Inheritance Tax works: thresholds, rules and allowances and Inheritance Tax: general enquiries).

RE: Money from selling property oversea
Hi Denise,
If you are resident in the UK when you dispose of your German home, then you may have UK Capital Gains tax to pay.
If the property was your main residence, you can claim private residence relief.
Have a look at:
HS283 Private Residence Relief (2024).
To calculate whether you have a gain or not, you can use the calculator at:
Tax when you sell property
All figures used in the calculation should be in UK pounds sterling.
The disposal should be declared in a self assessment tax return.
Under the terms of Self Assessment, we do not provide an official exchange rate and the onus is on the individual to use a just and reasonable exchange rate for each acquisition and disposal. For your convenience, there are exchange rates at https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20231016190054/
Exchange rates from HMRC in CSV and XML format.and for older rates at https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20100602124114/
http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/exrate/.
You are free to use any of the supplied rates or one of your own choosing.
If you paid German Capital Gains tax, then you can claim a foreign tax credit.
If you were not resident in the UK in the tax year, you disposed of the property, then there is nothing to declare to HMRC.
Thank you. -

RE: Remote working for an overseas employer
Hi,
If the business has no UK premises at all, you will more than likely require a direct payment scheme. This enables you to account for and pay HMRC any tax and national insurance liabilities due on your salary. The scheme will be set up in your own name and we require the details of your overseas employer.
Please contact Employer Helpline on 0300 200 3200 to discuss further.
Thank you. -
RE: Car salary sacrifice- underpayment

Yes, ultimately the employee has received an overpayment of wages.
