your funds from Bank A in the UK to Bank B in the US, you
can arrange for either Bank A or Bank B to handle the
transfer. There are no income tax consequences of the
transfer.

My question relates to the tax implications of transfer to
my wife.

I'm a UK citizen and my wife is a US citizen. We are based
in London.

I have recently sold some London property and have paid any
capital gains tax required by UK law.

My question is basically what is the best, least taxable way
to transfer this money over to the States in preparation for
a move back.

I am currently a non-resident alien.

Many thanks.
