stuff I haven't tackled yet.
Hello people,
just looking for advice. I emigrated to Canada 4 years ago. It only recently occurred to me that I did not inform HMRC that I was leaving. Is there any repercussions to that? I did get a P45 when I left my job. Should I inform them now (that I left 4 years ago)?
Also, I'm not pensionable age, but I worked for 27 years in London and had a company pension. What are the processes of getting that once I reach the age of drawing a pension? Will I also be entitled to a UK government pension?
Thanks .
I miss the UK!

It's a P85 you need to file to tell HMRC you have left the UK.
Re: your pension, you can check your state pension forecast here - https://www.gov.uk/check-state-pension. How much you get will depend on how many qualifying years you have contributed for.
You can continue to pay a small amount from Canada if you wish to get a full pension if you're not already eligible.
HTH.
