With final salary company pensions now a thing of the past for most private sector workers, more and more people like you are looking at different ways to safeguard their retirement plans.

Transferring your pension to ROPS allows UK expats to grow their pension funds in a tax efficient way and helps reduce tax on pension income in retirement.

Find out if they’re suitable for YOU.

What is ROPS?

Formerly known as a QROPS, HMRC has redesignated this to a ROPS or Recognised Overseas Pension Plan. It is still allowable by HMRC in the U.K, but based abroad.

To receive transfers from UK based pension funds the scheme must provide protection equivalent to or better than the safeguards required in the U.K.

Anyone who has a private pension can transfer to a ROPS scheme unless they have already purchased an annuity or are in receipt of their final salary pension.

Benefits of ROPS

  • Flexible choice of currency.
  • Don’t have to buy an annuity.
  • Reduce UK income tax or death charges up to 45% .
  • Safe and well-regulated.
  • No Lifetime Allowance (LTA) charge
  • Funds can be left to heirs
  • Transparent charges.
  • Up to 30% initial lump sum.
  • Consolidate multiple pensions.
  • Investment flexibility and freedom.
  • Avoid changes to UK tax and pension legislation.
  • Who is ROPS suitable for?

    ROPS might be suitable for You if…

  • You currently have funds in a UK pension.
  • You are planning to or currently live abroad.
  • You haven’t already purchased an annuity.
  • You haven’t started to receive an income from your final salary scheme.
  • You are planning to live overseas for at least 5 years.
  • You want to be able to access your pension at 55.
  • You want a higher pension income.
  • You want to draw more of your pension as a lump sum.
  • You want to transfer all of your pensions into a single pot.
  • Is ROPS Right For Me?

    If you have left the UK or are planning to leave, then a ROPS is likely to be suitable for you. However, it is essential to consult a professional before taking steps to set up a pension transfer
