Tax for transferring a lump sum from a Cayman pension to UK
I worked in Cayman for about 3 years and paid in to a pension whilst I was out there. I've now been back in the UK for 2 years and have received the pension money in to my cayman account.
I'm not sure what to do now?
I think that if I transfer the money to UK I am allowed 20% tax free and then have to pay a % tax on the remainder.
or
I pay it in to a UK pension, get a rebate which I then have to keep to one side to pay off the tax I get charged and come out even with all funds in my pension.
Any advice out there? Ideally i'd like to pay no tax (I didn't earn it when I lived in the UK) and have the cash to spend
Thanks!
