Hi,
looking for advice….. Both myself and my husband lived and worked in Aus for 10.5 years as UK expats, and accumulated between us a good amount of Superannuation in that time. We are both also Aussie Citizens. We left Aus and returned to the UK 3 years ago for family reasons. We are both 59 this year. I am currently working full time in the UK…. My husband has now retired on a full UK pension.
I have a few questions
1. If we came back to Australia and re- registered for tax purposes….would we be able to access our superannuation tax free?
2. Would we have to live in Aus for a certain amount of time to access?
3. how much tax would we have to pay if we didn’t come back to Aus , and simply accessed it from the UK?
Any advice/ information would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Angela
