QROPS Complaints
Have you been mis-sold a QROPS? Are you currently in a Maltese or Gilbrator QROPS but don’t know why and are now locked in with expensive annual management charges and penalties for leaving your current investments.
Unfortunately here at Harrison Brook, we receive numerous QROPS complaints from more and more clients who have unnecessarily been missold a QROPS, purely for their financial adviser’s benefit.
When is a QROPS the right choice?
Firstly, there is a scenario when a QROPS is a right choice; WHEN:
- Reaching your lifetime allowance (currently £1,000,030.00) utilising a QROPS is highly recommended due to No Lifetime Allowance (LTA) cap.
- Wanting to drawdown 30% lump sum tax-free – note that you can only take 30% PCLS if you have completed the required period outside the UK.
- Full ‘Flexi-Access Drawdown’ available – complete flexibility how you draw down and take income from your scheme – ONLY in Malta or via a SIPP in the UK.
When is a QROPS not the right choice?
- if you are a non-EEA resident, you would be subject to the QROPS OTC charge (25% tax charge).
- You have always lived in the UK.
- Your pension value is low and therefore the high annual costs are crippling.
- You want to invest only in ‘UK Standard Assets’ i.e Investment regulated through the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) (The highest level of regulation).
