Escape The 25% UK Lifetime Allowance Tax Charge

One of the key advantages of a QROPS is that you can grow your investments above the value of the UK Lifetime Allowance post transfer. When you have a registered pension scheme in the UK that is valued above the prevailing Lifetime Allowance, tax recovery charges can be 25% or 55%.

With our financial advice and guidance, you can transfer your pension whilst your pension plan is valued below this amount to protect against this tax charge in the future. Any growth in value that exceeds the lifetime allowance figure will no longer have to deal with the excessive 25% or 55% tax rates. Consequently, you save money and can maximise your pension.

If you are already above the Lifetime Allowance, this tax will be unavoidable, but we can advise best how to minimise the amount you will pay and ensure this is done correctly to avoid any HMRC penalties.

To transfer and save, get in touch today for a no commitment discussion of your circumstances.

No More Exchange Rate Headaches

Keeping your UK pension in the UK presents a few exchange rate concerns for you to deal with. When payments come in from your UK pension, you get them in GBP. Thus, the payments have to be converted into Canadian Dollars. 

Every single payment will have to do this, meaning you can suffer from fluctuations, bank charges and delay issues.

In essence, you may not receive as much money as you are entitled to because of currency rates. Things get worse when you consider the pension fund assets and liabilities. As a Canadian resident, at the age of 55 or over, you now plan on retiring. So, all of the liabilities are paid in Canadian dollars, meaning they have to be transferred back into GBP to pay your UK pension provider.

As you can already see, this gets so complicated and confusing - not to mention the fact that exchange rate fluctuations could put you in a position where your liabilities are more than your assets.

Transferring your pension to a Canadian QROPS will avoid any of these exchange rate headaches. when your pension is in Canada, meaning you only deal with it in Canadian dollars.  Any payments you receive are in the local currency, as are your liabilities. 

To avoid these headaches, additional charges and fluctuations, get in touch today to discuss your circumstances.

Consolidate Into One Account

Have you been a UK resident for most of your life? If so, you may have had multiple jobs, acquiring numerous occupational pension schemes. Additionally, you've taken out your own UK private personal pension schemes along the way. These smart investments ensure that you grow a substantial sum of retirement savings.

Nevertheless, managing all your different UK pension schemes can be stressful and difficult. The admin alone is hard to handle, constantly contacting numerous different people. By transferring your UK pensions to a QROPS in Canada, you can consolidate them all into one Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP).

Of course, you still retain flexibility over the different types of investments in this account. However, the key benefit is that you only have to deal with one statement every month. All of your contacts go through one administrator, rather than multiple. It makes your life significantly easier and gives you more control and assurance over your consolidated pension schemes.
