Question
I have received £50,000 from a relative who lives abroad. Is any UK tax due?Answer
Assuming it's a gift then there's no UK tax due. Just bear in mind that any subsequent interest or gains you might earn from saving/investing the money would be liable to tax as usual.
If the money had instead resulted from a joint investment you'd made (e.g. a holiday home) then you'd normally be liable to UK capital gains tax on your share of the profits.
