British expatriates today can benefit from tax-free QROPS
transfers and high final salary pension transfer values – but Brexit could
change the rules.
Pensions are often the key to a comfortable retirement. But
with more pension options than ever and the Brexit clock ticking, with no certainty beyond 2020, it can
be difficult to establish the best approach. Make sure you are aware of the current
pension issues that could affect you and the available opportunities, before
they potentially disappear.

Andalucía continues to be a
favourite destination for expatriates, including those making the most of their
retirement years. There are many
benefits to living here, and with the wide variety of property and locations,
there is a dream home for everyone.
Taxation can however spoil the dream for
some, particularly wealthier individuals and families.
Besides the expected income and capital gains
taxes, Spain additionally imposes an annual wealth tax. While most people are exempt – in general, if
you are resident in Spain, you can only be affected if the net value of your worldwide
assets is over €1,000,000 – it can have a significant impact on wealthy individuals. We know there are people who would love to
live in Spain but feel that
wealth tax will have too big an impact.
