Thanks JimCross. My combined pensions are more than my personal allowance so I will definately elect for tax Cyprus end if I make it over to the beautiful Isle. Hey, every penny saved counts, especially when we lose out on benefits like winter fuel allowances and pension increases just because we decide to leave the UK to retire to the sun for a bit of quality life

Hi John & Kath. Glad Spain's good for you. We're currently roasting alive in Sinai Egypt where it's been seriously hot. Fed up with the intolerable oppressive heat, camels, goats, sheep & rubbish strewn everywhere. Been here 6yrs & boy do we miss bacon, pork chops/roasts and all things yummy. I'm hoping I can get a visa to live in Cyprus but retain my finances from Egypt as I get really good XE & % savings interest

We get the most awesome black pork from the Aracena and Alentajo in Portugal and the eating out is very cheap so we are in pork heaven!

Re: UK Gov pension payments in Cyprus
Sorry, being a bit thick - don't understand what WFA is. Don't know anything about new rulings & Christmas bonus's. I started getting my pensions whilst in Egypt so I never got any bonus's etc. Possibly because I live in a non-EU country I have been missing out - can you enlighten me what I can expect to get officially if I move to EU country.

I think you may be wrong there Mitzy Cyprus and Australia are 2 of the few places that you are allowed to take your Government pension to tax free from UK.

Re: UK Gov pension payments in Cyprus
Good day John & Kath - thanks for the info. I have no recall of getting either!!! Shall be making enquiries to SRP. More double standards by SRP folk me thinks? We should get Aircon allowance if they think we don't deserve winter fuel allowance - however we need heating too as 3 months here in winter is cold and have to put a heater on! + 6 months of the year we definately needed A/C. All expensive. And as for Xmas bonus ... do they think just because we live in a Muslim country we ex-pats don't celebrate Christmas.
