Pension Freedom for Expats - Business or Retired
New Pension Freedom Rules allow Expats to Draw the whole of their UK based pension fund and pay tax in their country of overseas tax residence. This offers potentially large tax savings for Expat Business and Retired people Living and Working Abroad.
You don't have to retire to free your pension, even if living and working abroad, you can still reclaim the pension once you are over 55.
In the UK any Pension fund over £43,000 could generate a UK tax bill of 40% (£17,200)
The freed pension funds can then be invested in any way, cash investments, family business, overseas property, family education, repay loans, enjoy retirement.
ProACT can help free your Pension and reclaim big tax savings up to 40%.

Make a Will: Tax Saving for Expats
Sam Orgill of ProACT Partnership on using a Will for Tax Saving by Expats
The Cyprus changes to Succession mean Expats must make written changes to their Will to avoid forced heirship and retain financial control of their affairs on first death.
This can be done with a simple codicil or with an update Will. Our View is that a codicil is risky: in cyprus the Will deed is stamped. A separate codicil document could be valid, but it increases the potential of being misplaced or not being consistent with the Will.

Should You Pay Your Developers Tax to Receive Title Deeds in Cyprus?
Sam Orgill ProACT Partnership Examines the validity of claims for additional payments to developers in exchange for title deeds
When you make a contract it sets on 3 things: 1. the buyer and seller 2. the goods sold and the price paid 3. what and when happens to fulfill the contract.
Normally a cyprus contract states the buyer pays the money and the seller delivers the property - with title deeds later. The conditions in the contract for buyer and seller determine what you are legally obliged to pay.
Sticking to the letter of the contract could save you thousands off the price.

EU Brexit - Can You Trust Laws of Succession for Overseas Property?
Sam Orgill ProACT Partnership examines the impact of EU Laws on Overseas Property Assets in Euroland
In 2015 an EU directive on Laws of Succession became law in all EU countries other than those who opted out - UK Ireland and Denmark. In the first step towards Brexit the UK choose not to give up sovereignty of its national Laws of Succession and hand them over to EU law. Once an EU directive is adopted into law the member state loses sovereignty on that aspect of law, and the 'supreme court' of justice moves to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg.
EU Laws of Succession
The EU law of Succession is based upon on EU traditions dating back to the Romans: the principle being assets pass to blood relatives. This distribution to relatives is fixed and means that trusts, charities, friends, unmarried partners, step children and children born out of wedlock can lose out.
UK law of succession allows each person to make a Will and leave benefits to people they choose, irrespective of the blood connection, marriage. There are rules for distribution of an estate if you die and do not leave a WIll.
This could be a great cause of concern to Expats owning Overseas Property in the EU.

EU Brexit: Property Fund - Rock Solid Investment
The EU Brexit decision will have a wide ranging 'economic' and 'social' adjustment period in the coming 2-5 years. There will always be winners and losers. ProACT look at EU Brexit for Expats.
Solid Investment
Over many years people have chosen property funds as a 'low risk' investment of a lump sum.
However all investments can go down as well as up. Dont put all your eggs in one basket otherwise you could find your dreams smashed, as property funds lose liquidity and become a 'solid' investment for the wrong reason.
Post Brexit vote has seen half of UK property funds 'close' to redemptions from investors in UK commercial property. International Commercial Investors feared for future values of UK commercial property and hastened to exit the property fund.
