Expat Chat Episode 125 - Can You Roll Over A Foreign Pension in to a Super Account?

Expat Chat Podcast

Welcome to the one hundred and twenty fifth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. In today’s Expat Chat we talk about can you rollover your foreign pension and retirement savings into a Australian superannuation account. When we live and work overseas there is a good chance you will accrue some form of retirement savings. Some of these savings could include a UK pension, 401k from the US, RRSP from Canada, Provident Fund in Hong Kong, CPF in Singapore, End of Service Benefit in the UAE and many more. However it isn't always so simple just to take your foreign retirement savings and place it in your super fund. There are complications on where the funds are coming from, and the local jurisdictional rules, as well as how those funds are categorised when they enter Australia. In this episode we run through the following topics: • What is classified as a foreign pension? • Can I just move my foreign retirement savings into my superannuation? • What Australian rules apply to those funds entering Australia and my super account?
