My brother has asked me if I will place quite a large sum in our Finans Account on his behalf! [
!]
He calls it a "punt" - as he is just turned 60 and after selling his business a couple of years ago he is quite well off with ample pension provisions and says leaving cash in the UK over the coming years is a "waste of time".
To most people including me it is a sizeable amount.
I have told him I do not want to put it into our account with Finans as details might get back to HMRC in the UK who may think I am loaded!
I have said if you come over when we are at our apartment - take your passport into the bank - use our address in Fethiye if required - then he can get a tax number and thereafter do everything over the internet.
Is that the right advice?
?
