    Re: "to have a go at the bank is ridiculous"

    Why would I be facing two years in prison having not done anything wrong? The "brainless" reference was not directed at the bank per-say, more at the staff they employ at the other end of the telephone and their consistant failure to resolve any problem that I ever have.

    I do

    Again, only 182 days. I cleared all this with the Inland Revenue. I don't have to register in any country I don't live in for more than 182 days a year.

    What is it with the Yanks and the use of "fourths" instead of quarters.

    So its opening new accounts thats the problem then

    Operating an existing one seems to be OK on that reading</p>

    In any case I often make transactions online when abroad and have never had a problem</p>

    Well I have one in the USA

    That isnt a problem - I pay UK tax on the interest and fill out a form to the IRS saying I do that so I dont get taxed twice.

    Buy a really run down property with loads of potential and put all your ill-gotten gains into doing it up(paying cash for everything obviously.)

    You win three ways. Firstly your profit on the property is increased because your costs are lower as you pay cash for all materials and labour, secondly you couldn't have your cash in a better investment right now and lastly you don't pay a penny tax if you live there for a bit. Much better than paying some offshore dude 15% off the top.

    Hope this helps.

    How do they know where you are?

    When I am travelling I often pay my bills via the internet.</p>

    I can connect direct from an ISP in Germany for example, or I can connect via my company connection which appears to be in California - or I can remote onto a machine in the UK and appear to be connecting from Zen-uk.</p>

    Can you use phone banking when abroad.</p>

    more importantly though why does it matter?</p>

    What if you set up to pay by direct debit and are out of the country when the transaction takes place. is that illegal?</p>

    What if I phone my wife from abroad and ask her to pay a bill from our joint account?</p>



    This sounds like yet another one of those things someone hasnt thought through before writing a law</p>

    They weren't big on it in France,

    maybe the rules are different.</p>

    I dont think you are supposed to have an account outside of France if you live there.</p>

    Exactly

    It all sounds like it's been made up by people who've never lived outside of their home town let alone country.

    In practise I've had no problems to date, just that the new bank I'm talking to have told me I'm not allowed to do what I've been doing. So I'll not move my accounts to them. Their loss. I'll continue to use internet banking, direct debits, money transfers, etc. as I do now until the anti-money laundering squad come for me in the night.
