IOM QNUPS


Sovereign has developed the Pacifica Personal Pension Plan, a multi-member QNUPS that is authorised in the Isle of Man and satisfies the necessary conditions to be regarded as a QNUPS for UK purposes. The Isle of Man specialises in all aspects of international pension planning. All pension funds on the Isle of Man grow free of any Isle of Man tax. The Island also has a growing network of double tax agreements that can enable scheme members to take pension benefits from an Isle of Man QNUPS in a tax efficient manner.
