sugarfree Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Just wondering whether anyone out there can help me with a tax query.My father-in-law who is Russian and lives in Moscow is planning to transfer about £20,000 into a Nationwide Account that is held jointly by my husband and myself.The money is a gift to his son, i.e. my husband.My husband and I are both resident in France, although "domiciled" in the UK. We have tax allowances in the UK, but we don't use them.Any ideas about how HMRC is likely to treat this gift from Russia? Any advice you can give would be most gratefully received....

Gastines Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Would he like to adopt me?I believe any sum over £5k is looked into and I think the safest answer to your question might be a phone call to an accountant or the inland revenue,whatever they call themselves these days.
