Singapore Resident

I am resident in Singapore and claiming UK State Pension. There is DT agreement between Singapore and the UK. As my state pension originates in the UK, do I need to take any steps to keep my tax status 'correct' - for example, do I need to get 'NIL' tax rate for this pension from HMRC and if so, how do I go about it?

Hi,

You can find guidance here:

Tax on your UK income if you live abroad

Thank you.

Thank you for the link - I had previously gone through this material but hadn't found a clear answer - I've gone through again, in particular the DT Agreement info, and I believe that no action is required on my part.

Hi,

It means they have the right to tax it should they wish to do so. It is not automatically exempt.

Thank you.

Thank you, Question answered
