Transferring your Pension and Finances

Migrating to Australia could provide you with some financial advantages for your existing UK wealth, property, assets, savings and investments – including pensions.

As there are considerable differences in the tax regimes in the UK and Australia, with the correct advice an individual can take advantage of the tax breaks available and avoid falling into some of the tax traps that a move Down Under could potentially lead to.

Pensions

If you have a UK private or company pension, you will need advice as to whether to transfer your pension overseas and on the timing of the transfer.

With the right advice, it is possible to transfer your pension Down Under and retire tax free in Australia.  

Our pension transfer partners, Global QROPS Ltd, help minimize the tax implications and reduce exposure to currency fluctuations when transferring your pension funds.

Other Tax Considerations

There are important UK income tax, capital gains tax (CGT) and inheritance tax (IHT) implications that centre around whether an individual should retain or sell their UK property or investments. Allied to this, Australia have their own taxes on foreign investments held by a resident of their country.
