  I bet the Finanzamt are interested though!

Also will there be any repercussions from transferring this money from my DE konto to English account? Would I get taxed etc? Or as it's already my money, do nothing?     Thanks GaryC, that's good to know.  So my (ex)girlfriend could send me that €15,000?

they see a business opportunity !

  But have you had to explain to the Finanzamt?

Finanzamt, Yes, although it's money from selling my own belongings, and how would they know? If I keep all the emails from kleinanzeigen, that should show where the money's come from? Selling car and motorbike, I'll have the kaufvertrag.

Because the  handy app VR-SecureGo  is linked to my aldi talk phone number?   Thanks for your help. I'm overwhelmed with how much I have to do and don't know how.

If I keep a German Bank account, do I have to declare it in England? Will the Volksbank allow me to keep it open? Will the handy app VR-SecureGo work in England? Can I top up my aldi talk prepay from England? Oh God,oh god

Thanks for the advice, GaryC a very extensive reply thank you, it seems more complicated than I thought.

So I should close my German Bank account and move the money into e.g. Transferwise? I don't think I'll be able to access my DE konto from England, it has an app that sends a code to confirm what I'm doing. Sorry if for some people this is obvious, but it's not to me.

Hi all, I will be moving back to UK as soon as I can. I have so many questions my head is spinning, I'll try to stick to a few points here. As I am selling everything possible, I now have lots of cash which I'd like to put into my German Bank account. 1. I don't usually have much in it, but I'll be paying several 1000s in, is this a problem? Only have Kaufvertrag for my car as some sort of proof of where the money comes from. 2. Eventually I'll close the account transferring maybe 20,000 back to UK. I need to open a Bank Account online first for that, any recommendations? 3. My partner (soon to be ex, as she's not coming with) has another 15,000 to transfer to my not yet existing UK account. Given that I don't pay tax in UK because I don't have anything, will that be taxable? What sort of official interest will be raised.(See point 2 as well) I do hope you can help, I'm super stressed out.
