[davieb]

hi all. 1st time poster.

i am a uk resident. thinking of opening an offshore brokerage account now. i will be leaving the uk in a year maybe, so thinking ahead.

1/ what are my options for tranfering funds to an offshore brokerage account?

2/ do i have to transfer from my own uk account? or is there any other way of adding cash without a trail?

3/ & any recomendations?


thanks!

You're asking for trouble there. What are you going to do when/if your offshore broker goes bust? Don't worry about dodging tax, worry about getting compensated when the worst happens.

thanks for the advice. just checking my options.

hoping to be living in a tax free country soon, so as i said. planning ahead.
