Guernsey, Ireland and the Isle of Man remain popular QROPS jurisdictions, with the countries having 143, 91 and 218 QROPS respectively. Other popular jurisdictions are Canada (60) and Germany (30). France has 12 recognised QROPS schemes.
HMRC usually publishes its QROPS list on a bi-monthly basis. However, although it lists the number of new and delisted schemes in each country, it does not report details of the numbers of people choosing to invest in each scheme, nor does it detail the individual, total or average figures invested.
The QROPS list is important because it allows retirement savers to be sure that schemes meet the HMRC criteria.

Time may be running out for British retirees to move to Portugal in order to take advantage of its valuable Non-Habitual Resident tax programme. Currently, talk abounds that the scheme will come to an end in 2018 and be replaced with a 10% net expat tax regime from the first day of the New Year. Luckily, for those who feel they may be tempted by a move to Portugal, any move before this cut-off date will ensure that they are able to enjoy the benefits of NHR status as they currently stand.
