Where possible, it is our policy to advise clients of their fees in advance.
Fees for transferring UK Pensions:
Our fee for facilitating the transfer of your UK pension into an Australian superannuation fund is based on the number of pension funds you (or husband and wife) wish to transfer.
Our current fees and charges are as follows.
| Number of Pension Funds to Transfer |
Fee ($) - Excluding GST |
|
First or only fund
|
$2,900
|
|
Additional funds
|
$1,600
|
If the transfer value(s) exceeds $450,000 it attracts additional tax unless it is transferred in the correct manner which we are able to do. Where this occurs our fee will be based on the complexity involved in executing the transfer and will be quoted on a case by case basis.
An invoice will be raised once your funds have arrived in Australia. You can pay our fee personally or in most circumstances, we can arrange for the fee to be paid from your superannuation fund.
We are not financial planners but have established relationships with reputable financial planners who understand the requirements that receiving funds must meet at preferential rates.
Apart from our fee and that of the financial planner, there are no other fees. Additional fee are sometimes charged by other transfer agencies.
