Guest vixvixen80 Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have been living in Melbourne for past 18 months and am just on holiday back in good ol Blighty for a few weeks. Ive just found out that I have just recieved a nice tax rebate!! Its been sent as a cheque from HM Customs and revenue but only snag is I no longer have a uk bank account. Will I be able to bank it into my Oz Westpac account when I get back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cchristine Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I have been living in Melbourne for past 18 months and am just on holiday back in good ol Blighty for a few weeks. Ive just found out that I have just recieved a nice tax rebate!! Its been sent as a cheque from HM Customs and revenue but only snag is I no longer have a uk bank account. Will I be able to bank it into my Oz Westpac account when I get back?? I have banked a couple of sterling cheques into my Oz Bankwest account. They can take up to 4 weeks to clear tho', the teller said they have to go back to Blighty:skeptical:. Hope you don't need to spend the money right now.

JoandJon Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Or you could ask a friend/family nicely to deposit it into their bank account (I assume you can sign it over?) while you're in the uk, and give you the cash ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest31881 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I paid mine into my ANZ account, it was cleared within a couple of hours as it is not classed as a cheque because it was from government. Cannot remember the charge but it was not to high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot sign cheques over in the UK, it was stopped a few years ago to prevent money laundering. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
