Here at GC QROPS advice, we can provide you with the best QROPS advice, thereby removing any hassle, trouble and time. We have been successfully assisting UK ex-pats in Spain with QROPS advice for 9 years since 2006, and provide you with completely independent and honest advice, so you can make empowered decisions.

QROPS Benefits

For those considering transferring your UK pension in a QROPS, you can look forward to enjoying a number of benefits:

Full Access to your Funds With a QROPS you will be able to access your pension at 55 and also be able to receive an increased lump sum of 30% rather than the 25% if you have been offshore for 5 years.

Tax Efficient QROPS Take income from your pension in a much more tax-efficient way.

Greater Investment choice A QROPS may provide for investments that are not available within the UK.

Options for the under 55’s In some situations a QROPS can be taken at 50. QROPS arrangements offer considerably more flexibility, greater income potential and more investment freedom than a UK pension.

Beneficiary Options QROPS removes the 55% tax on death that applies in the UK on death. The UK government will take 55% of your total pension fund and only pay 45% to your beneficiaries. When the scheme is taken away from the UK with a QROPS the 55% tax charge does not apply.

Consolidation of Multiple Pension Schemes Many people have multiple pension schemes that are hard to keep track of. A QROPS allows multiple pension schemes to be placed into one plan and be administered more cost-effectively.

Currency options A QROPS fund can be held in currencies other than Sterling, providing a valuable safeguard for ex-pats.
