Re: UK pension transfer

you may not be sure Alan but I am, I have had lengthy discussions with four different “experts” and the costs range from 27% to 30%. I am aware of the small tax implications I shall incur.

Re: UK pension transfer

I am well aware of that, that’s the bet you make. Lose some of it if you die or half of it if your spouse lives on. Alternatively give away 30% over five years to an advisor and the ATO and hope you...

Re: UK pension transfer

your first sentence is correct. Your second sentence is not, you pay 15% tax to the ATO if you transfer. If your annual pension payment is less than 20k AUD then you do not pay any tax.
