Offshore bank account to UK

Hello all,

This forum is called cutting tax, and I'm not trying to cut it just want to know if I am doing the right thing!

I am now back in the UK and have been working here for the past year or so, before that I worked as an expat for several years. This is why I had the offshore bank account.

When I left my previous company I was given a lump sum which included my pension contributions, health contributions, and other benefits. This was deposited in my offshore bank account earlier this year.

I now want to use this money and want to bring it into the UK, does anyone know if I need to declare it for tax?

Thanks
