Offshore account

A bank or investment account outside the UK — must be declared to HMRC.

An offshore account is held outside the UK. UK residents must declare offshore income on Self Assessment. The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) means HMRC automatically receives data from 100+ countries. Hidden offshore income now carries severe penalties.
