Moving money back to the U.K. but don’t live there. What taxes can I be charged?

[katewow]

I’m due to inherit money from a family member who passed away abroad. I also live abroad (non E.U.) The amount is too low for inheritance tax. As a U.K. citizen not living in the U.K. but hoping to move back next year. Will I have to pay another tax like capital gains tax?

@katewow This would be a matter for your current state of residence and perhaps the domicile of the estate, not the UK.

@uriel_1 I’m a green card holder in japan I have no tax to pay here on the estate. Just worried about when I move money back what U.K. taxes there are.

@katewow There would be no taxes from the UK side, so only issues with any withholding tax from the domicile of the estate (if any) and your current state of tax residence.
