    [font=Arial","sans-serif]Is there a limit on the amount that can be transferred to them at once? For large sums of money(20,000), will the sender or the recipient be charge any transfer fees from either the bank or government?[/font]

    [font=Arial","sans-serif]Also would the sender or the recipient be charge any transfer fees from either the bank or government if the member was To transfer from an Irish account into an international account?[/font]

    Good Afternoon LaurenB87, 

    Thank you for getting in touch with us here and welcome to Boards.ie. 

    The limit for online transfers will depend on how the account details are registered as a payee initially. If the payee is registered and the activation code is sent by post, the limit on the payee will be E20,000 / 20,000 pounds per working day. If registered and activated by SMS then the limit is E10,000 / 10,000 pounds. 

    There are no payment fees on bank of Ireland international payments to the UK, EU Member states and EEA Countries like Sterling to UK, Zloty to Poland. Countries with an foreign currency conversion like the United States are set at E5. Full details of our International payment transaction charges are available here. 

    The receiving bank pay impose their own fee so it would be best to check with them directly to confirm this. For more information on how to make an international transfer please see here. 

    I hope this helps and if you need anything else, please let me know. 

    Elaine

    Good Morning Elaine
    Many thanks for your response.

    Do the government impose any tax to the person transferring the funds or the person receiving the funds?

    Many thanks
    Lauren

    Person receiving pays tax @ 33% over the limit.

    Hi Lauren, 

    I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to provide information on Government. You'd need to check this with Revenue directly or the relevant bodies in the specific foreign country. 

    Thanks, 
    Elaine
