| | [anonymous] I took out a Scottish Provident Quantum Plan with an IFA 10 years ago and the plan reaches its maturity date next month. Unfortunately the IFA has long gone and I would like to know whether I should cash in the Plan or leave it to continue growing. Recently the returns on the underlying Funds, India, Far EAst xJApan, China Opportunities have been good. I am currently working in the Middle East but plan to retire back to the UK in August 2007. I vaguely remember being told that I could draw a % or the fund tax free each year on return to the UK, is this correct |

| | > Not familiar with the "Quantum" Plan ( neither are the people at Abbey !). However, whether it is an offshore or onshore plan, if you are non-resident in the UK for tax purposes, then the plan should be encashed BEFORE you return to the UK, to crystalise tax-free gains. If you do not, then all future withdrawals will be liable to tax on all the gains made throughout.
The 5% allowance refers to a deferred tax arrangement regarded by HMRC as a return of the original capital of an investment bond ( or non-qualifying Life Assurance Plan ) over a 20 year period. |
