Payments By Mistake

Hi all,

Hoping for any help with the below,

I accidentally transferred an amount of £10k (extra zero) to my fiancee this has already been taxed at source- she has not been requested any tax to be paid, is it ok if she now transferrs the 9k back or will this have tax implications for myself (Even tho I have already paid tax on the full amount at source) Do I need to contact the bank before switching back.

Thanks,

    It isn't earned income so tax should not come into it so can't see any problem with your finacee transferring it back to you.

    There is no tax on gifts in the UK, of any size, so there will be no tax implications of returning it.
