Canada Pension Plan

Apoligies if this has been discussed before but I could not find it

If you are resident in the UK, I think most worldwide income is taxable in the UK. Exceptions are things like Roth IRAs (a type of pension plan in the US that has tax emption in the UK as well as the US).

Unless you take positive steps with the CRA, there'll be 25% tax withheld at source if you're (or rather he is) a non-resident. But the tax-treaty means you won't lose out anyway.

Re: Canada Pension Plan
When I moved to the UK I filed a departure tax return with the CRA. Over here I then applied for my CPP and receive it without any deductions. I'm considered a non resident. I report that income on my UK return.
I also converted my TFSA to a RIF. When you take the minimum amount there is no withholding tax deduction.
