    A SIPP is situated in the UK.

    QROPS are usually based in tax efficient countries such as Malta, Gibraltar, Isle of Mann etc - this is not tax efficient for your situation as Switzerland are not in the EEA - thus as you commented, you would incur an immediate 25% tax charge.

    By the sounds of it, I will echo what has been said above by other posters, either you have been ill-informed or you have understood incorrectly. Nevertheless, it is wise to obtain accurate information and ensure you understand correctly before making any decisions.

    Main benefit of transferring a DC scheme into a SIPP is access to funds, management, ease, potentially maximising growth and control.
