Hi all

So i became a british citizen and now plan to move the UK and bring my money with me. Is money going to be taxed? Will they ask where I got this money? Or can I transfer it from my overseas account to my UK one (when I open one) without any problems?

Has anyone had any issues with this?

Thanks

It's complicated. You should consult an accountant.
