Thank you everyone. The bit I was most frustrated hearing about was the tax on the whole pension amount (growth since I landed) even if I am only taking 25% out. I guess I need to pay to talk to someone here in Australia. Thanks for the tips. Edit: I tried to message Andrew within this forum but says I cant do that. Is there a restriction for new members?

I have some questions regarding private pension scheme in the UK. I am over 55 years old. 1. I am going to remain in Australia, does it make financial sense to move the private pension over to an Australian super fund? 2. I can take a 25% tax free lump sum in the UK since turning 55. Is this taxable in Australia if I move it over? 3. How do agents that help to move pensions across and give tax and financial advice make their money when providing their services? Regards TJT
