MONEY LAUNDERING LEGISLATION – MORE NEW STUFF

On 15 June 2007 a new European Union (EU) law comes into force on travellers declaring cash, to help combat money laundering. People who are either entering the UK from a non-EU country, or are travelling from the UK to a non-EU country and are carrying 10,000 Euros or more (or the equivalent in other currencies), will be required to declare the cash to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) at the place of their departure from, or arrival in, the UK. The obligation to declare applies to the person carrying the cash, regardless of whether that person is the owner. Forms on which to make the declaration will be available at ports and airports and will also be downloadable from www.hmrc.gov.uk. Travellers could face a penalty of up to £5,000 if they fail to comply with the obligation to declare, or provide incorrect or incomplete information. A leaflet explaining everything is available – click HERE… or you can contact HM Revenue & Customs on 0845 010 9000.
