A very cautionary vision.0 -
The exception will be the non-regulated scammers who do most of these. Who take great chunks of the value of the pension in the process and are not around in the years to come when HMRC catch up with the individual and hit them with a 55% tax charge.
My Defined Benefit scheme offers a raft of benefits to those planning to retire abroad. This scheme can reduce taxes when pensions are paid out, remove currency risk and avoid tax on any remaining lump sum available to pass to heirs.0 -

Qatar, Oman and UAE do not appear on the QROPS list so I doubt that a) the pension provider will sanction a move there (as they will get a tax bill) and b) no IFA in their right mind will sign it off. If you do manage it HMRC will bill you for up to 55% of the payment.
Pension provider is in the process of sanctioning the move, IFA have approved and under my special circumstances I will pay nothing to HMRC.0 -

I see, you are looking for PM's asking how you did it, so you and "johndough" can promote some dodgy scheme.0 -
