Demand For QROPS Surges After Brexit

Demand For QROPS Surges After Brexit

The number of QROPS applications has increased by 30% since the Brexit referendum. This surge shall come as no surprise as QROPS was incepted as a result of an EU directive. The UK Government has never been a fan of QROPS as it meant flight of capital and with it tax revenue. The consensus is that QROPS will be abolished as soon as the UK leaves the European Union. In April 2015 the UK Government already abolished the transfer of public sector pension such as the NHS, the police, etc.

Should you have a UK pension it is advisable to seek professional advice from a qualified and regulated pension specialist.
