Can a pension be transferred from Ireland to the UK?

[Whatalife88]

If someone works a public sector job in Ireland and moved to somewhere else in the UK would they be able to transfer that pension? Thanks

Have a look at this and revenue.ie for information there's a lot of variables.

Are they in Ireland (Republic of Ireland) or Northern Ireland?

Republic.

I’m not an expert in this, but if it’s ROI then they’re not moving ‘elsewhere in the UK’ if you see what I mean. Ireland (ROI) is not in the UK so I don’t think public sector pensions can be transferred as such and added to in the UK.

Once retired the pension will be paid to someone resident outside Ireland (though I think it’ll be taxed in Ireland??). I know retired people who are getting pensions from 2 countries because they worked in two countries…maybe reduced rate of each pension depending on how long they were working in the various places. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Thank you

Interesting,
Thank you
