Expat financial advisors in Grand Cayman

Notifying your bank

If you wish to leave some or all of your UK bank or building society accounts open, you can complete form R105 and contact your institution to ensure that it is still happy to hold your savings even though you will no longer be a UK resident.

Furthermore, it is worth asking your bank or building society if it will be willing to pay your interest gross.

Considering your pension

There are many options available to UK citizens looking to reside in the Cayman Islands. For example, the Cayman-UK double tax treaty makes it possible for expats to receive their UK pension gross. Furthermore, expat financial advisors in Grand Cayman may be able to help you take advantage of the increased flexibility that has been available to UK pensions holders since 2015.

Family Court rules on QROPS pension
