If i move money between accounts in my name and accounts in my wifes name, or vice-versa, would I be liable for tax?
I started out with nothing......And still have most of it left:p

What do you mean move money around? Do you mean already post tax income?
But in general no. Simply putting your savings in your wife's account or vice versa won't cause a tax liability.0 -
You would only pay tax on the interest on money in your own account..
Your wife would only pay money on the interest of money in her account
Please note.. If you put money from your account to hers,then the money immediately becomes her money.
And vice versamake the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.
and we will never, ever return.0 -

Talking about money in savings. I moved quite a large amount from my wifes account to mine (with her consent:))to buy a property in my name. I was panicking afterwards thinking I may have been liable for tax on that moneyI started out with nothing......And still have most of it left:p0 -

No liability I can think of.
Probably a good idea to talk to an accountant re: BTL tax changes anyway.0
