It is very good to handle things according to procedures to complete the transfer smoothly without any hitch or questions in the future, having complete papers is very advantageous and also a cardinal key security to all concerned as the documents will show the source and origin of funds and the same documents that make bank A to accept the money will make bank B to accept the money too, therefore these papers will guarantee the safety of the funds.
Also note that getting FCC requires down the payment of 5% tax that is the reason for TDC, this TDC will broker the 5% Tax with a signed written instruction of the TDC authorizing the Bank to deduct 5% of total sum.
Usually there used to be higher heritage tax rate in the past years until a flat rate of 5% of the gross proceeds (the total amount earned on heritage or sale of property) is levied on money in the bank, real estate or buildings. This tax applies even on transfers of property to spouses, descendants, and ancestors.
Like I said we are doing everything in accordance with the heritage procedures and in compliance to the laid down rules and regulations, this process will ensure full/proper legalization of the money going to your account, because the taxes will make government to issue the rightful papers to guarantee safety of money in future to avoid any question from any bank or government both in your country or any other country.
The tax rate used to be very much higher, its much higher and could range from 4.5% to 15% depending on the country as you know some countries has higher tax tariffs than the others, however allow me to use America (USA & Canada and London UK in Europe and commonwealth Nations) as case study as they have one of the most established tax laws in the world:
In United States transfers to grandparents, parents, or lineal descendants are taxed at 4.5% only. whereas transfers to siblings are taxed at 12%. and transfers to any other persons (meaning relation or not) are taxed at 15%. Some assets are exempted from tax, such exemptions includes life insurance proceeds, gifts and disabilities if proven etc. Such inheritance tax is imposed on both residents and nonresidents who owned real estate and tangible personal property in America or United
Kingdom at the time of their death.
Whereas in some jurisdictions, when assets are transferred by inheritance, any unrealized increase in the value of those assets is subject to capital gains tax, payable immediately. This applies only in Canada where there are no inheritance tax rather all taxes are considered as capital gains tax (CGT).
So it is not a matter of how much you spent or what was paid for or not paid, it is matter of getting the rightful documents to accompany the money to explain and show the source of the money going to your account, besides nobody is asking you for money for personal keeps rather you were told to go inside the bank by yourself to complete the procedures, we made huge expenses here too over 78,000 in getting the preliminary approval documents that approved your name as the beneficiary/next of kin, these documents made it possible for your name to go into the banking system as beneficiary, the money is already there in your name and you need to complete the procedures to receive the money, any expenses made including the cost of travel and the tdc will be paid back from total sum before sharing.
But if you are not serious and capable kind inform us.
