Friends Provident International surrender and tax implications

Hi all,

We have a Friends Provident International Pemier savings account that we were sold 20+ years ago when we were expats, it really does nothing for us and we are looking at surrender. Its a jungle out there with info so my question is what are the likable tax implications closing this account down, moving the money on shore to invest in something different.

Many thanks
