Transferring your UK pension funds is a simple way to achieve a potentially better retirement income for yourself and long-term peace of mind for your family - without working longer or harder or taking greater risks with your assets.

If you intend to retire in Australia you will almost always be better off transferring your UK pension funds too. By transferring you could:

SAVE up to 45% tax on your pension

The sooner you transfer, the less tax you'll pay and once the funds are in Australia you’ll pay no tax at all in retirement

CONTROL the capital value of your pension

It's your money after all so you should have the ability to control how it is invested, now and in retirement. And when you retire you can access up to 100% of it as a lump sum.

PRESERVE your pension for your beneficiaries

In Australia you can pass 100% of the asset on to your family, forever – unlike the majority of UK pension schemes that only pay a diminished benefit to a spouse and all too often nothing at all to the rest of your family.
