Re: QROPS Pensions
 

I've not seen one posted on here yet mate.

Actually there was one but it was a Self Managed Fund - Jumbo I think.

Hi Bix,
yes i saw that one, but did not know what company it was..
There must be some info somewhere.!!

Re: QROPS Pensions
 

There's no Super company involved with the self managed funds.

Where we may have Sunsuper, AMP or whatever, his is effectively "Jumbos".

I scanted through the HMCM FAQs the other day and seem to remember reading they had no plans to publish a list of approved funds so it's a matter of keeping the ear to the ground I guess.

Have spoken to a guy at I Rev re Pensions he is dealing with QROPS - they have given status to bout 10 companies and have about 10 more going through in the pipeline.

I have suggested to him twice that they publish a list on the IR website - but some jobsworth at higher level decided against this,

But if you email him with some companies he will confirm whether or not they have the status - To which I replied I would email a list of all Aus pension companies and he said - no thank you does not have the time - jus one or two please. - SO publish a blooody list then!!!!!!!!! - Is it me is is that just too sensible!.

anyway email is [email protected]

I will be emailing him at some point - but have a few months before need to transfer - so if anyone gets around to this before me keep us updated.

Hope this helps

I will try and call the IR also and see if a list can not be obtained..
your right a list would just be too easy.
cheers

Do you actually think they want to help you move your pension fund away Gordon's sweaty palms?

Re: QROPS Pensions
 

Suppose not LOL, but it need to be done, and yu only realy have 6 months when you get there to get it transfered. Unless that has changed too.
even worse my contracted out pension is 2 years behind cause the IR have not processed it yet. :scared:

Re: QROPS Pensions
 

Zero, after the 6 months you can still transfer but it is then taxable in Australia (15% I think)

However it's only on the growth element so if you are a few months over the 6 it probably wouldn't amount to much anyway.

I transferred after being here 18 months and paid no tax. The final salary scheme I was in had grown zilch in that time. In comparison my Aus Super made 15.4% and that is in one of the low risk categories.

One can never predict these things acurately but when they say never move a final salary scheme because it's guaranteed I would question that.

Re: QROPS Pensions
 

have just emailed that guy for a list of australian pension companies that have QROPS status. hopefully if more of us email him he may get soooo peeeed off with replying that he will have to publish a list. come on guys email him now!! selina

Re: QROPS Pensions

Re: QROPS Pensions
 

Hiya
My pension is one of the things I have thought about but not really got round to planning anything about it yet. To get me started - What is QROPS status please?

Re: QROPS Pensions
 

this is the reply i got from that guy

I am not allowed to give out the information you are requesting. However, if
there are a couple of specific pension schemes or pensions companies that
you have in mind, I will be able to tell you whether the scheme(s) in
question have 'QROPS' status.

yeh cheers thanks for nothing. i have just emailed him to ask why he is not allowed to give a list and who exactly is allowed.

Re: QROPS Pensions
 

Do you have to email him with a specific company name so he can say yes or no then? FFS I thought Little Britain 'computer says no' was fictional!!
