UK Pension Clarity

British expats. UK pensions. One clear plan.

If you built pension rights in the UK and now live in Austria or elsewhere in Europe, you face a unique set of choices: State Pension top-ups, SIPP drawdown, currency risk and whether a QROPS transfer still makes sense. We help you decide without a sales agenda.

Most UK pension advice is built for UK residents.

UK pension rules changed again in 2024: the Lifetime Allowance was abolished, new lump-sum allowances apply, and tax treatment for non-residents depends on your country of residence and any double-tax treaty. Generic online calculators rarely model the Austrian side correctly.

We model your UK entitlements alongside your Austrian and any other EU pensions, then build a single, sequenced drawdown and currency plan you can execute with confidence.

FAQ

Common questions.

Often not. Since the 2017 Overseas Transfer Charge and the end of the Lifetime Allowance, the case for QROPS has narrowed. We compare the total cost, tax and flexibility of keeping, consolidating or transferring without earning a transfer commission.
