Tax on a UK Government Pension (if you live abroad)

Thanks Admin 8, Could you please confirm that this quote is correct?: " As a National of UK, and as a National and a Resident of Spain, you can have this government pension taxed in Spain". Thank you very much. Kind regards.

I am in receipt of a UK civil service pension. I am thinking of moving to and living in the Republic of Ireland. I appreciate that UK government pensions are always taxed in the UK. If I later take dual nationality will my UK civil service pension continue to be taxed in the UK?

Hi,

If you obtain Irish Nationality at a later date, you can apply for the pensin to be paid tax free in the UK. You would need to provide evidence of the change of your nationality.

Thank you.

Hi I live in Australia and have a small pension and lump sum from my DTI days. I am now retired and I have Australian superannuation, ie, not a pension, a lump sum accrued amount. The application form asks if I have any registered pensions. I am not sure if I am expected to provide details of my Australian fund as it would not be registered. I assume tax will be applied in the UK in any event.

Hi Richard,

If you are referring to completion of form DT-Individual, you do not have to provide details of any Australian pensions.
We only require details of your UK pension(s).

Thank you.
