Re: 401k or UK Pension

​​​​​​



Spot on, because of your inputs on 401k, I went back and did some more checking around, I've increased my 401k contribution to 10% for now (rather than 5% to match). I'm still not near...

Re: 401k or UK Pension

Oh - I read somewhere that you could still contribute to a UK pension, just not take advantage of the benefits. That's really odd, I called them up and they were willing to send me direct debit...

Re: Options for investments (IRA, 401k etc)

Yup! Currently doing this to make sure I don't have any gaps whilst I decide on what to do in the future. Luckily my company was willing to cover these expenses for the first couple years.

Re: Options for investments (IRA, 401k etc)

Yes good point, for this reason alone I doubt I'll be getting US citizenship any time soon, if at all, even if I decide to stay for the duration of my green card.

Re: Options for investments (IRA, 401k etc)

That's good to know, I did get confused a bit. It is dependent on tax residency, as opposed to the US, where if you are a citizen all income is taxed globally regardless of residency.

Options for investments (IRA, 401k etc)

Hey all,

Re: Assignment from the UK onto US payroll

Those comments about what they've covered are things I pushed for and had to explain, it's been a tiring process. But I agree, it's just that things have changed in the last few days, being shifted...

I understand, however the offer included that the transition would be handled for me, which has not been the case.

Someone with experience on relocating an employee, currently we're solving issues as we go and it's not been a comfortable experience.

I'm going to request for professional services to handle this transition - neither myself or the company have any idea what's going on. I'll keep everyone updated, hopefully I don't have to turn this...

Re: Assignment from the UK onto US payroll

Do you mean that the company would pay for it directly? I'll bring it up but the initial plan was that I would pay for it, then reimburse it as an expense through the company. Which I was told would...

Re: Assignment from the UK onto US payroll

No I agree - it's just that as it's new to the company, I have no idea whether my offer is actually a reasonable one. I had to push for a relocation budget of any sort, for example. Asking for an...

Re: UK to Chicago.. in a couple weeks!

Thinking about this further, would a year assignment not be classed as a business expense? I'm not relocating to be a permanent resident? Is this a ... grey area?
