Nope but thats something I'm interested in too as I have 20 years service in nhs pension scheme. Am going to spend some time next week on the nhs pension agency website see if I can find some info they also have a forum so it might be worth doing a post on there.

I'm in the same boat. 24 years service to transfer, what have other nurses done when they moved abroad?

you can transfer your pension & it is supposed to be advisable from a tax point of view. i did speak to someone at an Expo last year & will try & dig out the info. Unfortunatel, house very chaotic due to decorating at the mo so may take a while!

Hi I had 28 years service with NHS prior to coming to Oz. Did some research before leaving Scotland and if transferring the scheme you are transferring into has to be QROPS registered. There is plenty of info on the forum re this , worth searching for it.

Thats certailny the option that I am drawn to Paul, as I understand so far, cash based pension products are the ones that are liable for tax, however, I am trying to find out if a final salary pension scheme like the NHS superannuation scheme has the same tax liability on retirement

PaulB and SME, Who gave you the advice to leave it, was it and IFA or someone at the NHS scheme? What are the tax implications on retiral, will you get taxed on your pension if you are still living in Aus?

Many thanks,

Andy

Hi.
Your NHS pension is not static, it does grow but not at the same rate as if you were making contributions. Mine has grown by a 25% since I`ve been in oz. Am currently in the process of bringing over into a QROPS recognized super fund. (Not using a company as they charge approx 3% of the transfer value to complete this relatively simple excercise. Big bonus is that you do not on retirement have to purchase an anunity like you do in the UK. You can access the entire amount (lump sum) tax free!!! Think of the compounding growth when you move sterling amount into $AUD fund!!!! Cheers Mandy.
