Irish Personal Retirement Bond Transfer to UK

Rog1411

I have a Personal Retirement Bond held in Ireland (Eire) denominated in Euros. I now am full time in the UK and will retire here. I don't want to have an Irish pension pot but don't know how to transfer this to the UK.

I've contacted several SIPP providers but they won't accepted transfers in from overseas accounts. I also don't want to incur any tax liabilities as I want to use this as part of my retirement income.

I only worked in Ireland for about 3 years so probably am not eligible for an Irish State pension.

I can't seem to get concrete advice from anyone so any help here gratefully received

You will almost certainly qualify for something as the years worked in the UK will count towards any required minimum years of contributions under reciprocal agreements. When the time comes to apply for the UK SP you enter details of contributions into other countries' schemes and it gets worked out behind the scenes.
