Years Australian

With more than 23,000 UK nationals emigrating to Australia last year, it's a popular choice. The high quality housing, quality of life and sheer space available make it attractive to Britons - we annually make up 15% of those who move down under.

But there's more to living in Australia than surfing every day and Christmas dinner on the barbecue. As part of your emigration plans, you will have to consider the financial implications of the move. What effect will it have on your pension fund? Should you leave your money in the UK or move it elsewhere?

Before 2006, the UK government would have taken at least 25% of your fund when you transferred it abroad. But in April of that year the A-day reforms came into effect, allowing people with British pension funds to move them to Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes, otherwise known as QROPS. For a foreign fund to meet HMRC's requirements, it has to be regulated as a pension in its country of origin, and also taxed as such. But do not panic at these requirements - low tax regimes are permitted to run QROPS as much as higher tax regimes. For the list of most of the schemes that HMRC permits, check out the HMRC website for the latest information.

To be able to take full advantage of the QROPS provisions, you must be planning to move to Australia for at least 5 years (or at least, remain outside of the UK for that amount of time). The danger of coming back early is that the British taxman's interest in your fund will be reawakened, and you may be liable to a hefty penalty.

Many investors are surprised that you do not necessarily have to be a British citizen to make use of a QROPS fund. Most people who have amassed a UK pension fund are eligible, so individuals from other nations who have paid into a UK pension fund, usually while working here, can use the scheme. This is, however, something for which professional financial advice should be sought every time. For instance, investors from the United States might encounter problems as their Inland Revenue Service is less keen on the QROPS provisions.

QROPS is a complicated area, and independent financial advice is an absolute must. Not only will your adviser need to explain the tax implications of the move, but also the likely investment returns of each QROPS under consideration, and the relevant fee structure.

If you choose to locate your QROPS in Australia, you will have the advantage of your investment being held in the same currency as the country where you live. However, there are a number of other issues to be considered. Australia does not presently allow its residents to access their pension benefits until the age of 60, compared to 55 in the UK. Depending on your age and the plans you have for your fund, this could be a decisive factor in your financial planning.

A key advantage of an Australian QROPS is that you can pass your fund to a loved one on your death without paying inheritance tax in the UK. This is a distinct advantage over the almost punitive rates payable on domestic pensions.

Recently maximum limits for the amounts that can be transferred into Australian QROPS have been introduced. If your fund exceeds these limits or if there are other aspects of the Australian system that you do not like, you can always choose a provider from another jurisdiction. It comes as a surprise to some Brits emigrating to Australia that there QROPS can in fact be located in another overseas country. However, it is the fact that you are living away from the UK that is the important thing in the status of the taxpayer.

The factors that influence your decision about where to put your fund include the tax regime of the host country, the quality of the financial regulation there, the predicted investment returns, the flexibility the fund allows, and the inheritance provisions.

When choosing a QROPS, use an adviser that is truly independent, so that they can introduce you to any QROPS, anywhere in the world. An international adviser is best, because they can consider a variety of overseas QROPS destinations.

For the first five years of your QROPS, your fund will report back details of the scheme to HMRC. However, as long as you remain outside of the UK for all of this time, your fund will fall outside of these reporting requirements, and the UK taxman will no longer have an interest in your QROPS.

QROPS Pension transfers are require professional advice and guidance. To find more about QROPS visit QROPS.net for unbiased, non-commercial and free QROPS advice.

Chinese Australian $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A Chinese Australian is an Australian of Chinese heritage. In the 2006 Australian Census, 669,890 Australian residents identified themselves as having Chinese ancestry, either alone or with another ancestry. The early history of Chinese Australians had involved significant immigration from villages of the Pearl River Delta in Southern China. Less well known are the kind of society Chinese Australians came from, the families they left behind and what their intentions were in coming. Many Chinese were lured to Australia by the gold rush. (Since the mid19th century, Australia was dubbed the New Gold Mountain after the Gold Mountain of California in North America.) They sent money to their families in the villages, and regularly visited their families and retired to the village after many years, working as a market gardener, shopkeeper or cabinet maker. As with many overseas Chinese groups the world over, early Chinese immigrants to Australia established Chinatowns in several major cities, such as Sydney (Chinatown, Sydney), Brisbane (Chinatown, Brisbane) and Melbourne (Chinatown, Melbourne).

Australian Megafauna $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Australian megafauna are a number of large animal species in Australia, often defined as species with body mass estimates of greater than 30 kilograms, or equal to or greater than 30 greater body mass than their closest living relatives. Many of these species became extinct during the Pleistocene (16,100100 50,000 years before present). The cause of the extinction is an active and contentious field of research. It is hypothesised that with the arrival of humans (around 48,00060,000 years ago), hunting and the use of fire to manage their environment may have contributed to the extinction of the megafauna. Increased aridity during peak glaciation (about 18,000 years ago) may have also contributed to the extinction of the megafauna. Some proponents claim climate change alone caused extinction of the megafauna, but these arguments have to account for the fact that megaufaunal species comfortably survived two million years of climatic oscillations, including a number of arid glacial periods, before their sudden extinction.

Thirty Australian Poets $14.95 A landmark anthology celebrating a new generation of Australian poets. 1968 marked a turning point in Australian poetry, when a dynamic wave of new poets sought to revitalise a 'moribund poetic culture'. At the helm of that generation was John Tranter who argued that there would be cycles or generations of poets with peak moments where new poets would emerge to revitalise the culture. Forty years later, with a spate of superb debut collections, Australian poetry has never looked so energetic and vital. From the imaginatively mind-boggling to the exquisitely lyrical, from tender and edgy erotic currents to wild feats of intellect and playfulness, the dynamism of contemporary Australian poetry is abundantly evident. Thirty Australian Poets is the first anthology to celebrate the generation of poets born after 1968 and includes a wonderful diversity of voices and styles, from re-imagined versions of traditional forms to the experimental and avant-garde. This groundbreaking anthology captures the spirit of an exciting generation who, between them, have won every major poetry award, and made the renaissance of Australian poetry impossible to ignore.
