Yes, you can claim your UK pension while living in Australia. The UK pension is generally taxable in Australia if you are an Australian tax resident. You may also be eligible to claim a foreign income tax offset in Australia for any UK tax paid on the pension income.
You usually need at least 10 years of National Insurance contributions to be eligible for the new State Pension.
As an Australian tax resident, you must declare any income received from your UK pension in your Australian tax return1. Under the Double Taxation Agreement (DTA) between Australia and the UK, private UK pensions are generally taxable in Australia1. If you are a permanent resident of Australia, your UK pension is only taxable in Australia, unless your visa says you need to report your foreign-sourced income.
It can take around 16+ weeks from the date the International Pension Centre (IPC) receives your claim to process it. You can claim your State Pension up to 4 months in advance. To avoid delays, answer all questions on the claim form and send all requested documents to the IPC2.
The UK no longer has a mandatory retirement age. Employers cannot force employees to retire based on age, unless it can be objectively justified.
Withdrawing a lump sum from a UK pension within 6 months of becoming an Australian tax resident usually means that the withdrawal is not subject to Australian tax. If you withdraw it after 6 months of becoming an Australian tax resident, you will generally be liable for Australian taxation on the accrued growth of the fund from the date you became an Australian tax resident.
