Hi all, I'd like to to find out at what point I technically become a permanent resident. The reason is that I need to transfer UK pensions over to a QROPS approved superannuation fund and there is a 6 month period from when you become a permanent resident to transfer pension funds over without being taxed I currently live and pay tax in the UK. I was granted a permanent residency visa p640 sub class 100 in Dec 2009. I then had 12 month period to activate visa by visiting Australia within 12 months of it being granted, which I did in Dec 2010, by going there for a 2 week holiday. Anyhow we are now in the process of moving over for good and plan to arrive in Nov this year, I'll also be contacting the UK tax office to let them no that I'll no longer be a UK tax paying resident. So my question is am I already deemed to be a permanent resident from the time I activated my visa when I visited in Dec 2010 or will it be when I arrive this November? I hope the above made sense. Regards Mark

Hi we used GB liners for a local move 2 years ago and they were great, could not fault them. (Brighton Branch)
