  • RE: tax on QROPS death benefits

    Hi, Thank you for your reply. My father has been non-UK resident since 2011. (Based on an average of < 91 days over a four year period rulings at that time) The pension fund was initially transferred to an Isle of Man personal pension plan approximately 2009. It was then transferred to the QROPS in 2015. Does the time period the pension was in the Isle of Man count as part of the ten year reporting period and therefore the fund is no longer in the 10-year reporting period? If the time in the Isle of Man is discounted and the fund is still within the 10-year reporting period, is the fund free of UK tax because my father has been non-UK resident for more than ten full and consecutive years? Are all beneficiaries of death benefits taxable, should the death benefit fall to tax, regardless of the country where they reside? Thank you
  • tax on QROPS death benefits

    My father is resident/domiciled in Thailand and has a QROPS based in Gibraltar. How are death benefits from this scheme taxed? I understand that the QROPS pension pot does not become part of the estate for IHT. (Even if it did it would not fall to IHT because of him being non domiciled and the pension being an overseas pension/asset?) Are the death benefits taxed under income tax and if so would they only be taxable if received by a UK tax resident? I am NZ resident and would benefits received by myself not be subject to UK income tax? My father is 79. Thanks
