Re: Double taxation of pension?

Thanks Hurlabrick. I wasn't at all offended, I only mentioned my job since I know you work in pensions and may have been interested to know I do too.

Our situations seem virtually identical (e.g....

Double taxation of pension?

Hi,

My wife has a Self-Invested Personal Pension ("SIPP") pot in the UK. She drew some income from this in 2018. The income was taxed in the UK (subject to the usual tax-free allowance etc.). She...

Flying to UK before and after citizenship

Hi,

So at the moment we fly using our UK passports and PR cards. This gives us the best of both worlds, being classed as domestic on both landing in the UK and returning to Canada. We will be...

Re: Tax relief on UK pension income limited to 10%?

Sorry Gemiran, misunderstood your question. Yes, we were able to both split the pension and receive the $2,000 credit.

Re: Tax relief on UK pension income limited to 10%?

No joy over the GBP2,000, but the pension split was accepted, which obviously helped.

Re: Tax relief on UK pension income limited to 10%?

For the first payment received, the provider will probably deduct tax at the emergency (month 1) rate. This means that they will not reflect the appropriate tax-free personal allowance and you will...

Re: Tax relief on UK pension income limited to 10%?

Thanks Gemiran.

To summarise:


I don't have any issue with the tax HMRC is deducting. If it has been too high initially, there has been a rebate.
My understanding was that any UK tax paid...

Hi,

My wife has a current bank account with TSB. When we came to Canada, she changed the registered address from our old home to my mother's address (UK). This was partly because we weren't sure...

Re: Tax relief on UK pension income limited to 10%?

Thanks for the reply.

Just to be clear, I declared the full gross amount of the drawdown, even though 25% was tax-free in the UK. It would be nice for the CRA to adopt a similar approach, but...

Re: Tax relief on UK pension income limited to 10%?

You're right that GBP30,000 seems to be the break-even point, but I think the maths is a little different.

From the 30,0000, can deduct 7,500 (25% tax-free element) and 11,500 personal allowance,...

Re: Tax relief on UK pension income limited to 10%?

Thanks eaglestorm. So that means UK State pensions should not be subject to tax in the UK, so the issue will not arise.

The last paragraph just relates to trivial pensions.

Re: Tax relief on UK pension income limited to 10%?

I stand to be corrected, but since I am a Canadian resident for tax purposes I don't think I can ask the UK to pay back any Canadian tax.
You are right that there is no 25% tax free allowance here....
