What is a QROPS?

A Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme, or QROPS, is an overseas pension scheme into which your UK pension rights can be transferred.

Since 2006, people with UK pensions who are, or will become, non-resident in the UK for tax purposes can move their pension benefits out of the UK to a QROPS.

A QROPS can provide many tax and inheritance benefits including:

  • Pay less tax on your pension income
  • Changes to the Inheritance Tax Act 1984 gives QROPS freedom from UK IHT
  • Increased control over where your pension fund is invested
  • Simplicity, multiple pensions can be consolidated into one QROPS
