Superannuation or pension fund in Australia

Scrambler4885

I moved to Australia in 2001 but returned to live in the UK in 2009.

Whilst living in Australia, I transferred my UK pension pot to a managed fund in Australia as I fully intended to remain there and retire there.

Things changed! I got divorced and returned to the UK where I've remained since 2009. I do not intend to return to Australia but me pension (superannuation as they refer to it) remains"trapped" there. It is a modest amount (less than $AUD 200,000).

I am a citizen of both countries.

I'd like to get the cash back here to the UK where I could add it to my UK pension pot or use it to buy property?

I have tried to get professional advice regarding the tax liabilities if I were to move the money to the UK but no one seems to know.

Does anyone know what the liabilities would be or know of anyone who could provide proper advice?

Thanks in advance.
