Can I take my UK pension to Spain?
Can I take my UK pension to Spain? Once you are resident in Spain, most UK pension income is taxed in Spain and not liable to UK taxation. The exception is government service pensions, which remain only taxed in the UK. There is no 'tax-free lump sum' in Spain.
Can you retire to Spain on a UK State Pension?
You can claim and receive a UK State Pension while living overseas. But Pension Credit stops when you move overseas permanently. This is a means-tested benefit, which can top up your weekly income. Your State Pension can be paid to a UK bank or building society account, or to an overseas account in the local currency.
