QROPS / QNUPS: Jurisdictional differences matter to Clients

Contributed by SIPP Specialists Limited [www.sippspecialists.co.im]

As we’ve said before – from a QROPS point of view one size DOES NOT fit all. It depends on client requirements as to which jurisdiction is chosen.

Please consider the following points:-

Malta QROPS: Pension payments are made in the form of dividends, which can be taxed at a lower rate than income in several EU countries – single digit taxation in some – making for very tax efficient pensions for some EU residents.

Guernsey QROPS: It is possible for the member to borrow 25% of the fund, not the case in other jurisdictions.

IOM QNUPS: It is possible to invest directly in residential property, not the case in other jurisdictions.

Isle of Man: Is the only QROPS jurisdiction with a dedicated independent Pension Regulator which can give confidence (possibly more than voluntary codes of conduct?)

There are differing maximum drawdown rates and retirement ages in some jurisdictions. Malta is a full EU member and Gibraltar has EU membership by association.

Whilst some of these points may appear technical we are aware that they have made a difference to client decisions about which jurisdiction to use.
We can offer:-

  • A choice of QROPS in all the places mentioned above
  • Technical support and advice on QROPS/QNUPS matters
  • A dedicated team of specialists and administrators for you to deal with consistently
  • We do not give financial or investment advice, or insist on using specific investments
  • Clear transparent fees and no hidden commissions
  • High quality administration using market leading systems

If you want to contact us to discuss any of this, please contact us on consultants@sippspecialists.co.im or see www.sippspecialists.co.im or www.sipco.co.im for more information. Alternatively just give us a ring.

PS. We believe in obeying both letter and spirit of the QROPS legislation, which we believe protects all parties involved from any unwanted potential tax charges in the future.
