Turkish Living Forums - View Single Post - Transfering Money from Turkey

Hi Mr Turkey,when we left the UK we officially became non uk tax residents and all our records etc are kept by the relevant tax office for non residents.If I transfer a large sum of money back to the UK am I,as a non resident,still liable for tax or not.
My other question,sorry if this goes on a bit,is what if I was a UK tax resident but only wanted the part of the money transfered to remain in the UK with the majority of it being transfered abroad to buy another property in a different country?If we want to sell up and relocate to another country is it therefore better to bypass the UK and transfer any money direct to the country we are buying in?
If this is too much to answer, then please accept my apologies ,but the answer you gave previously has semi thrown my plans.
