If you are about to move to New Zealand or you are already here, it is important to know what happens to the retirement savings you're leaving behind in the UK. 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 getting started investigating your pension options, we suggest that you start with our one page Beginners Guide to New Zealand Pensions (PDF, 24kb). It will give you a good overview of how pensions work for Brits in New Zealand. You may also be intereseted to know that you can transfer UK personal and company pensions to New Zealand, which may give you early access to your retirement funds, and much more control of where your funds are invested. We are happy to provide expert advice on whether this is best for you, at a lower cost than most "execution-only" pension transfer companies.
