UK tax reforms are on the horizon
If some or all of your retirement savings are still in the UK, moving them to a non-UK pension can keep them working hard for you, give you more access to your money, and help shift them out of reach of changing tax regimes.
The benefits of a non-UK pension
Guernsey is only a short trip from the UK, but is the destination of choice for your pension given the possible tax changes.

More tax-free cash
You can take up to 30% of the money in your pension pot/s without having to pay any income tax on it (within certain limits).

Consolidated access
Combining your pension pots in one place makes it both easier to access your savings and keep track of how they’re performing.

Tax confidence
Keeping your pension in a predictable tax environment makes planning the future more straightforward.
Questions you may be asking yourself
If you’ve built up multiple pensions over the years, consolidating them can make your savings easier to manage, give you more control over your investments and potentially reduce fees.
Do you have any offshore bonds? Are you planning to sell a business when you retire? Are you expecting to inherit anything? Do you have other assets? Our retirement guide covers how to manage and consider these.
In Guernsey, you are able to take between 0% and 150% of the rates given by the Government Actuary’s Department (GAD) 2011 Drawdown Pension Tables, which are based on your age and prevailing UK medium/long dated gilt yields.
