Transfering money from Netherlands to UK (buying a house, buying, income)

[danieln]

Hi!

I'm thinking about buying a house here and I would need to transfer about 10k euros from my account in Netherlands to my account in the UK.

I still don't know if it would count as my income (thus affecting my taxes on my salary / my yearly free tax allowance) or if I would receive it tax-free, since I have already paid taxes in the Netherlands.

Has someone been through the same situation? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

It is your personal savings, so no, it is not taxable.

Don't be surprised if such a large amount alerts the authorities to have a look.

I've transferred $5k from my account in England to another in Canada and it was fine. No taxes/questions.

Is it normal proceedure to send money to Post Bank then they will put it into my account at Success Finance Group. They are asking me to do this to open an account so I can have some bonds transferrred to my account in the US.
