Drip feeding money earned abroad into UK account

[Pickle2]

Just bring it back into the country in cash and spend it slowly in lieu of going to the cashpoint.

Why piss around with putting it in a UK bank account at all? Assuming its not a six figure sum, surely its not worth the hassle.

Ask Lord cash point (Michael Abraham Levy) he knows one or two things about setting up off-shore accounts. Or even Mr Goodwin..

I agree with ASB, an off-shore managed company in the channel islands, virgin islands, would be the best way to go. As long as company income and personnel income is clearly distinguished, you've operated (what's that term??) "Within the rules" (don't look at me governor I've done nothing wrong).

Have an offshore account with a visa card. Put all extra spending e.g. bling, boystoys, nights out, on that i.e. not your normal spends like rent/mortage, Tescos, etc.

Not that I know anything about it.

Best to make sure it's not a bank with a UK banking license issuing the card and holding the account though.

This is a complete one off and never contracted before - only doing it to bridge gap of being made redundant and finding a new job...I was thinking of opening an account with a local islamic bank...

I'm uncertain about how long it will be but I would want to get into a normal UK job asap...its this uncertainly that is driving various answers from those who i have asked...

Can't I just earn the money and decide what tax position to take in a few months when it all becomes more clear?
