SRRV Retirement Visa

Re: SRRV Retirement Visa
Hi Keith
I am certainly no expert on the tax system in Philippines, but as far as I know, you would only pay tax on any income earned within the country. I stand to be corrected by anybody who has more knowledge on this.

Re: SRRV Retirement Visa
ALL UK State Pensions are paid tax free as by law HMRC CANNOT deduct tax from them as the BASIC pension is below the tax free allowance. However if you have any other pensions classed as government pensions then these are also excluded from the UK/Philippines Double Taxation Treaty. The good news is that if you have any private pensions, then by filling in DTT individual and getting it certified by the BIR here, you can get these paid tax free. I'll use our situation as an example;
1. MYSELF. I have the State Pension, made up of the basic pension, SERPS, Graduated Pension plus a couple of oddities. I also have 2 small private pensions. I get the private pension paid tax free BUT as my State Pension is OVER the tax free limit I have to pay UK tax on it. As HMRC cannot deduct the tax I owe from my State Pension, they get one of my private pension suppliers to deduct it at source.
2 MY WIFE: She has a partial State Pension and a UK Teachers Pension. This is classed as a government pension and under the DTT both her pensions are excluded so she pays UK tax on all her pensions.
If you have an SRRV and work here, then yes, you should pay local tax on your local income.Don't forget to fill in P85 and send to HMRC when you have your moving date. If you want more detail please PM me.

Re: SRRV Retirement Visa
Some Time Deposit banks are loosing their accreditation and members are being asked to move them to the following accredited banks only are allowed now.
Development Bank of the Philippines - Makati office only
Bank of China - Makati office only
Korean Exchange Bank - Makati office only
Banco De Oro - Cebu office only
Tong Yang Savings Bank
Union Bank of the Philippines
PNB
To be allowed to transfer the time deposit you must collect in person ( or through a register agent ) the transfer documents from PRA offices in Makati.
Brings back the memories of the Victorian times where everything was on paper in triplicate and we had boy runners
I have asked them to post or email it to me, shall revert with their answer if they can be bothered to reply.

Re: SRRV Retirement Visa
yes sad about tax on pensions but the Uk ruling is that pensions paid by the UK gov will have tax deducted at source. simply stated on the double taxation treaty you can download and read. only other way is to become a Filipino citizen ..want to do that??

Oh, if you are in the USA and are registered with the IRS there, then you can get ALL pensions from UK paid gross and then pay local tax on them. Only 2 countries have this DTT agreement with the UK. Sorry can't remember the other and cannot be bothered to google it.

Re: SRRV Retirement Visa
I believe that as we are resident and not citizens we do not get taxed on income or capital gains arising from OUTSIDE the Philippines.
Bringing in the proceeds by using an ATM card is also non taxable in the Philippines.
Should your income or capital gains arise in the Philippines you may subject to certain PEZA/SRRV exemptions be subject to taxation in the Philippines

should have proof read what i wrote the last line should be

PEZA/SRRV exemptions may apply where taxation is not deducted from income earned in the Philippines which includes pensions sent direct

Re: SRRV Retirement Visa
For those of you who are having to move your SRRV deposit from a non accredited bank. Just been and started that process with the bank that presently holds my deposit, 4 hours, 57 signatures and 113 pieces of paper later it is nearly done. Have yet to have the pleasure of same with new bank, just one hour and nothing done as they were reading the wrong bit of paper. Gave up and came home.

So to move 1 bank account and close a savings account it took 11 hours, 164 pieces of paper and 109 signatures. I love it when things go smoothly.
