REMITTED BASIS FOR POSSIBLE TAX ?

Take professional advice - check the forum advertisers for an accountant, last  time I checked there was at least one with an excellent reputation for advising on matters such as yours.

Yeah get pro advise, generally capital - your savings - wont be taxed but there are many rules so speak to someone

And don't be tempted to bring the money in as cash!
A guy from Sicily has just been prosecuted for bringing in nearly €23,000 without declaring it and apparently there is a €10,000 limit. He was an 'entrepreneur' who was bringing it in for his start up business!
He was fined €5000 and had the excess of nearly €13,000 confiscated!

This limit is clearly indicated in ALL european airports.  And he was lying twice about how much he had before it all came to light, he deserves it for sure

Asked whether he was carrying any cash, the man replied that he had €9,000 in hand but later handed over €6,500. Their suspicion aroused by the fact that the figures did not tally, the officers demanded an explanation.

At that point, the man took out a second wad of cash notes amounting to €8,500. Rather than quell the officers' suspicions, this second bundle only served to spike their misgivings even further.

Upon being informed that he would have to undergo a personal search, the traveller issued the third and final wad, bringing the total amount of cash to €22,990

what an idiot

If it is capital that you had before moving to malta its tax free and you can just wire it. But you have to be able to prove it.
