In the future it would be good to know that your current TC is not relevant, what is is your number to move. You can give that to the company (or a bit above if you think they will come in below it)

If they come back with a match of your current, there is no harm in saying "What I meant was, I'm looking for x% above that." You need to be clear. Might be a blow to your ego, but ego needs to be left out of negotiations for your own sake.

Thanks, this gives me a good explanation, just framing it as misunderstanding and that I thought my implications to get a premium on my current salary was clear to them. Like written above I will take a step back and make up my mind about a number, that makes me move. Thanks a lot!
