HMRC Admin 10 Response

Hi Melbourne Departed
That is correct.
If tax resident in Australia at the time the pension was paid, it would not come under double taxation rules.
As a UK tax resident, you are liable to pay tax on it whether it is in an Australian or UK bank account.
Thankyou.

Hi Razvan
A Self-Assessment return would be required for this.
Thankyou.

Hi Edd
You can go back into your online return and make an amendment and add  SA109.
Thankyou.

Hi Daiput
If the money had been left in a savings account it would still be lible to tax on interest generated (above £1000). as it was your choice to invest in a pension, this is then generating a further source of taxable income which needs to be taxed irrespective of how the pension was funded.
If your total annual income is below your personal allowances for the tax year, then this will be paid tax free.
Thankyou.
Regards.
