I did. -- Lozzo SV650S K5, ZX-7R P4, CBR600F-W, SR250 SpazzTrakka, SR250 Project SpazzCaffer I see a bright new future, where chickens can cross the road with no fear of having their motives questioned
I'm looking at buying a few quid and sticking it in a high interest account in the UK. It'll come back to a decent level, I reckon.
Have you looked at savings account rates? You can get 5% gross if you take out a 12 month bond. Best no notice accounts are around 4%. You could put £3600 into a Cash ISA and pay no tax on the interest. Assuming you still have a UK NI no. Scottish Widows were best at 4.5% a few days ago. You'll also need a UK address that receives bills in your name to get past the anti-money laundering regs.
My accountant has told me that there's a way of me investing money in the UK and not paying either French nor English taxes. Don't ask me how, I don't understand the procedure but it looks interesting. That's another solution.
I've got about 50k in one that I'll gladly sell you, as long as you'll give me what it was worth when I put it there. Say, 1.5 eu/pound? I've been waiting for a good time to bring it over for years, but never seem to think about it except when it's quite clearly _not_ a good time, like now.
