Back home is not that clear if once you bring money back it will be taxed or not even though you made that money while you were abroad.
Is the Isle of Man safer?
What country is home? If it's the UK or Eire you shouldn't be taxed if you have evidence (i.e. you were proved non-resident) at the time you accumulated the money. This is easy enough to show through bank statements of deposits to your offshore account. If you transferring from an HSBC offshore to UK home account you won't even be scrutinized as the government already make HSBC declare large transfers and will know what you're doing as long as you're legitimate and non-resident. They were in trouble in the past for hiding tax avoiders so they're closely watched by the UK gov.
The US is a different matter entirely.
