Case study - save on your overseas tax returns

Challenge

When Emily moved to Germany, she decided to maintain some of her financial ties to the UK for added security. She kept her UK pension and rented out her former home, alongside holding a Sterling savings account.

However, some of this income was subject to UK tax. After transferring funds from the UK to Germany to cover her living expenses, Emily found herself needing to repatriate some of these funds in order to meet her UK tax obligations. This back-and-forth resulted in weaker exchange rates and bank transfer fees significantly eating into her income.

Solution

After discussing her situation with her financial adviser, Emily was recommended TorFX as a better option for managing her international payments. She reached out and was paired with a dedicated Account Manager who reviewed her needs and explained how TorFX could help her save time and money.

Emily was set up with a virtual currency wallet that allowed her to hold funds in both GBP and EUR. This solution enabled her to convert only the portion of her UK income she needed into euros, while retaining the rest in pounds, all without additional hassle. She also benefited from rate alerts and the ability to lock in exchange rates, giving her greater control over her transfers.

Impact

With TorFX, the process of moving money between the UK and Germany became seamless and more cost-effective. Emily was able to avoid unnecessary fees and poor exchange rates, keeping more of her hard-earned money.

Additionally, she discovered that TorFX provided significantly better exchange rates and customer support than her bank, helping her manage currency fluctuations and protect her finances. Emily now has peace of mind knowing her transfers are handled efficiently and cost-effectively, allowing her to focus on enjoying her new life in Germany.
