Sending wages back from Malaysia to UK

Postby themodem » Mon May 13, 2019 11:32 am

Hi all,

I moved to Malaysia in Oct 2013 and worked permanently in Malaysia up until now.
I have paid tax in Malaysia and managed to save up some money I want to take back with me when I move back to the UK at the end of this year.

I will be moving permanently back to the UK and I was / am a UK citizen (Born in the UK and lived there all my life up until Oct 2013).

The question I have is will I have to pay tax on the already earned money from Malaysia?
If so, is it best to leave all of my money in Malaysia?

Cheers

No, If it wasn't taxable in the UK when you received it, it won't be taxed here just because you bring it here.
