Financial Services for South African Expats in the UK:
I am delighted to introduce you to Alexander Beard Group, an international financial services business formed 33 years ago in the UK and now spanning the world, head quartered in Cheshire with additional UK offices in the London and Yorkshire; our international offices are located in France, Netherlands, Canada, USA, Australia and South Africa.
Having successfully served Expats of many nationalities over our history and following the acquisition of Johannesburg based advisory business in February, we are now launching our long awaited SA Expat services.
- Releasing “stranded assets”: bring your pension funds, endowments and other SA based savings out of the country legally and safely.
- Managing what you have left behind: if you have assets back in SA that you want to leave there, we can manage them for you through our SA regulated company.
- Replacing SA Life insurance: if you continue to pay for SA based life insurance, a benefit payment may be subject to tax in the UK; we can replace, this cost effectively, with a tax free policy from a UK provider.
- Favourable FX currency services through our ‘introducer’ relationship with Investec bank.
- Advice on U.K. pension, investment, critical illness insurance and private health insurance.
- For those of you running companies in the UK or involved in professional partnerships, our international employee benefits division offers consultancy, implementation and ongoing administration for group pension plans, death-in-service plans and partnership insurances as well as payroll services.
No matter where in the world you live, as a British expatriate you will need good, reliable and credible cross border emigration & financial planning advice.For a UK resident, the majority of the time, financial planning is reasonably straightforward and there is a huge array of professionals available who can guide you through your financial planning.
However, when moving overseas, a new tax jurisdiction needs to be taken into account; you will likely leave assets or sources of income behind in the UK, therefore you will need to consider the cross border implications.A good example of where cross border advice becomes valuable is when you access your traditionally tax free 25% lump sum payment from a UK pension.
This payment for a UK resident is clearly defined as ‘tax free’.
However, there are some countries that will tax this payment as an income, therefore care needs to be taken on how and when you access this money.
An easy solution could be to access your 25% payment whilst you are UK resident and defer taking an income until you are ready.As you can see, cross border financial planning doesn’t have to be rocket science, however speaking with someone who is aware of the common issues for British expats is certainly sensible.If you are emigrating, the areas you should be considering are:Pension PlanningWhen do I want to access my pensions and how should I do it (QROPS or through a UK pension)?Investment PlanningDo I need to invest my money in a particular way that makes it tax efficient in the country I now live in?
Do I need to be concerned about FATCA reporting if I’m a USA connected individual?Protection PlanningIs my life / critical illness cover I created whilst living in the UK valid should I move overseas?
