Isle of Man QROPS
A Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme (QROPS) is a useful retirement option for those living, or planning to live, overseas. A QROPS allows you to move your UK pension into a permitted overseas scheme, allowing for greater investment freedom and an opportunity to minimise your tax liability, depending on circumstances.
A QROPS can help to bypass some of the restrictions associated with living overseas and maintaining a UK pension. Typically, the most useful benefit when switching to an international pension plan is increased tax benefits, because you only pay the tax, if any, applicable in your chosen country of residence.
