If you live abroad but are classed as a UK resident for tax purposes, you may have to pay UK tax on your pension. The amount you pay depends on your income. You need to tell HMRC if you move abroad.
If you’re not a UK resident, you don’t usually pay UK tax on your pension. But you might have to pay tax in the country you live in. There are a few exceptions - for example, UK civil service pensions will always be taxed in the UK.
Double tax
If you live in a country without a ‘double taxation agreement’ with the UK, you might have to pay tax in both countries.
