Transfer or Leave?
When deciding whether to transfer your funds to Australia or leave them in the UK, there are several factors to consider:
If you transfer funds to Australia
- Tax-free lump sum cash benefit at retirement age (from 60)
- Tax-free growth and income from pension assets (up to $1.9m based on current legislation)
- Protection from exchange rate fluctuations affecting pension payments
- Control over the distribution of your fund’s value upon death, benefiting your family or beneficiaries
- Potential growth of your pension value in retirement depending on market conditions
If you leave your funds in the UK
- Australian tax applies to lump sum withdrawals and subsequent pension payments
- Inability to increase the value of your pension assets during retirement
- Potential forfeiture of the full pension fund or pension upon death
- Pension value influenced by exchange rate fluctuations
