seangolding1987 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi, I'm currently debating a move back to the UK after a rather traumatic break up with my Australian partner. I understand that you can get a highly taxed refund on your superannuation as a temporary resident when you leave Australia, but is there any way you can get hold of you super if you are a permanent resident and don't intend to return to Oz? Without claiming financial hardship. Has anybody done this? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I'm sorry to hear about your breakup. No, I'm afraid there's no way to get your superannuation refunded. You will have to leave it in the fund until you reach retirement age. Make sure you write to the fund and notify them of your UK address, and also tell them to cancel all insurances, since they probably won't be valid overseas anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
