  • RE: Pension Lump Sum and Claiming Tax Refunds for Non-Residents

    I am currently living in Malaysia and am not registered for tax as I am not liable to tax in Malaysia. I have been living outside the UK for many, many years, having lived in several different countries. A long time ago I declared myself non-rseident and non-domiciled for tax purposes with HMRC. I do not receive any earned income in the UK and have not done so for many years - well over 10 years. However I have recently signed up for my state pension and have received a small amount of state pension in the current tax year. I recently took a lump sum payment from my main private pension in the UK from which they were obliged to deduct UK tax at the emergency rate. How do I go about recovering the tax that they deducted?
