Currently in the UK, planning to stay permanently, and in receipt of the Age pension being paid into my Aus bank. According to the ATO if a non-resident (for tax purposes) receives any Aus income then they must complete a tax return. They also say the Age pension is taxable but is it classed as income? Centrelink can pay it into a UK bank which would (maybe) mean only having to complete a UK tax return. Oh the joys of moving overseas! Regards Rik

Can anyone clarify the ATO tax situation if I move permanently to the UK and become non-resident for tax purposes? If my Age Pension was paid into an Australian bank account is it taxed by the ATO? If my Age Pension was paid into a Foreign bank account (by Centrelink) is it taxed by the ATO? Any info would be VERY much appreciated. Thanks
