Jax, et al.
Not in the sandpit, thank goodness, but I am an expat- in India in my own case.
I pay tax In India, so I'm not some sort of tax evader!
The UK has a 'dual taxation' agreement with India, but as I'm full time here, I'm not eligible to pay UK tax, even if for some weird reason I wanted to......
Understand about income arising in the UK being taxed, but I still don't want to pay UK tax when I don't live there. I have a SIPP that I could maybe use.
One kind ppruner has pm'd me the details of a decent tax advisor.
I thought the thread topic might be useful for others in the same boat too. The UK pension changes are quite significant for many if us.
The chance to get your sticky paws on your own money, maybe to pay down debt, like in my case, is such a big improvement from the old days of 'buy an annuity'.
Very significant stuff for expats and UK residents, both.
