US Taxation of UK Pension Plans
US Taxation of UK Pension Plans: A common question we receive about foreign pension plans and the UK is simply whether or not a UK Pension Plan is even Taxable in the U.S. And, the IRS guidance does not make it much easier. The United States and the United Kingdom have several international tax treaties in place.
Whether or not the UK pension is taxable in the USA will depend on various factors. The primary source of law (and confusion) is the US UK income tax treaty (main treaty) - but there are treaties and agreements as well. Some of these other agreements, include:
Totalization Agreement (Social Security)
FATCA Agreement (Foreign Account Compliance)
Estate Tax (Estates)
The main issues involving if UK Pension Taxable in the US:
-Is My 25% Tax Free SIPP withdrawal taxed in the U.S.?
-Are the Contributions to my Foreign Retirement Tax Deductible?
-Personal Pension vs. Employment Pension
-Is the Growth within the Fund Taxed?
-FBAR & FATCA Reporting
-Form 8833 Treaty Position
