For Australian expatriates in the UK

If you are living and working in the UK, you are likely to be receiving employer contributions to a UK based pension scheme. Both the HMRC and Australian Government have recently made a number of changes to Pension and Superannuation legislation, which has made it very difficult for Australians to understand their options.

Should you wish to move back to Australia, Cross Border Financial Planning can help you understand how you can access and manage your UK Pension in a tax efficient manner.

Cross Border Financial Planning can help construct a bespoke financial plan that takes into account the assets you are building in the UK, what your plans are for staying or returning home, and how those assets may be able to be transferred to Australia in a tax efficient manner. This could include Cashflow Forecasting, which gives you the confidence to understand your wider financial picture and make the best decisions to provide for your future.

We work together with trusted local Australian financial advisers, who can advise on your Australian assets, ensuring your financial plan is implemented in a joined-up and holistic way.

We can assist you with mortgage and protection planning, as the majority of providers are not willing to deal with foreign nationals in the UK.

 

For British expatriates in Australia or planning a move to Australia

UK Pension transfers to Australia have been a tax efficient way for British expatriates to plan for retirement in Australia. Both the HMRC and the Australian Government have recently made a number of changes to Pension and Superannuation legislation, which has made it very difficult for Australians to understand their options, should you wish to transfer your UK Pension to Australia.

If you are looking to move to Australia, Cross Border Financial Planning can help you understand how you can access and manage your UK Pension in a tax efficient manner.

Together with trusted local Australian financial advisers, we can help construct a bespoke financial plan that includes how best to manage your UK and Australian assets, with regard to your future plans. This could include cashflow forecasting, which gives you more confidence in understanding your wider financial picture.
