Hi CK67 Keens,
Please have a look at article 17 of:
Germany: tax treaties
It advised that a private UK pension paid to a resident of Germany, is only taxable in Germany.
Once you have commenced receipt of your UK private pension, please download the form DT indiviual at;
Double Taxation: treaty relief (Form DT-Individual (Germany
You need to complete the form and send it signed and dated to the German tax authorities.
They will return the validated form to you, so that you can send to HMRC at the address on the front page of the form.
HMRC can then arrange for any UK tax to be repaid.
Thank you.
