The Chase Buchanan FREE Guide to Retiring in the EU for British Expats has been created by our expert consultants to ensure you have all the vital information required to evaluate your range of retirement planning choices.
Every EU country has its own rules about pension transfers, taxes charged, and what sorts of revenue are considered taxable as income.
Therefore, it is impossible to decide the most beneficial route to European retirement without evaluating the regulations in your specific destination.
Many expats are keen to enjoy the climate and lifestyle in popular destinations such as Spain, Portugal or Cyprus. Still, they remain concerned about how Brexit may have changed their rights, future income, and, therefore, retirement aspirations.
The good news is that there are multiple opportunities available, from blended strategies to international transfers, lump sum drawdowns through to consolidation – all of which we explore in our Guide.
Our series of complimentary downloadable resources aims to shed light on the intricacies of sound retirement planning and ensure each client has the necessary knowledge about the various influential factors to understand each option’s advantages and potential pitfalls.
