| Thanks again for all the advice. In the menatime I have been talkin to my bank about the transfer and they seem to be very inquisative about where this money is coming from. I don't know if this them carrying out 'due diligence' on my behalf and my tax implications but it also makes me nervous as they seem to be making it very complicated, suggesting that it is highly likely it will be treated as income and taxed on bringing it in to the country.
My plan is to buy a place with it asap so it will not be sitting in any account gaining interest.
To answer previous question: I have been in CH since Feb.

By 'your bank', presumably this is a Swiss one. If you have not been with your Swiss bank for very long they don't know you and may well suspect this is money laundering or a sum you have not declared elsewhere. You should be able to calm their fears with some sort of printed proof - they love paperwork...
