New Zealand Pensions
It is important to know what happens to the retirement savings you're leaving behind in the UK if you are about to emigrate to New Zealand. You'll also need to know how pensions and retirement savings are accrued and taxed in New Zealand.
We've compiled a series of articles to navigate you through the pension system in New Zealand. But if you are just starting to investigate your pension options, we suggest that you start with our one page Beginners Guide to New Zealand Pensions ( PDF, 80kb). It will give you a good overview of how pensions work for Brits in New Zealand.
And if you're interested in finding out more, order your free copy of our comprehensive New Zealand Financial Guide, which contains in-depth information on state pensions, New Zealand Superannuation, QROPS pension transfers and NZ tax on pensions. It's up-to-date and written specifically for Brits emigrating to New Zealand and Kiwis returning home.
You may also be interested to know that you can transfer UK personal and company pensions to a New Zealand QROPS, which may give you early access to your retirement funds, and much more control of where your funds are invested.
Please contact us if you have any questions about the financial side of life in New Zealand, and don't forget to order your free copy of our comprehensive New Zealand Guide.
