If you are a non-Isle of Man resident with savings accumulated from various sources, you may wish to consolidate them under one roof in a single tax-efficient pension structure, making use of all allowances available to you.
Specifically designed for international individuals, Freedom provides tax-efficiency, enables investment choice, and allows for nominated beneficiaries to receive your pension fund, if you were to die with a balance in your plan.
The scheme is designed to accept transfers of international pension arrangements and/or the contributions of cash or assets and gives the option to change the currency of your pension fund and your retirement pension, to mitigate against exchange rate volatility. Freedom fully recognises and satisfies the relevant Isle of Man rules, but maximises the opportunities you have as an internationally based tax resident/citizen.
*Although no tax is deducted at source, tax may be levied in your country of residence or home country. It is highly recommended that you seek your own independent tax advice in respect to your specific circumstances.
Freedom is registered as an International Authorised Retirement Benefits Scheme under the Retirement Benefits Schemes Act 2000. Freedom is established under trust in the Isle of Man and Boal & Co (Pensions) Limited is the trustee and Professional Retirement Benefits Schemes Administrator.
While Freedom is open to UK resident/domiciled individuals, this category of individual would be better suited exploring our QNUPS option.
Talk to your adviser, or one of our team to understand more about Freedom and how it could be used as an appropriate retirement savings vehicle for your unique circumstances.
Boal & Co was established in the Isle of Man in 1995 by Gary Boal as an insurance consulting and pension services business, before branching out into pension trusteeship and administration in 1997.
Following the introduction of formal pensions regulation under the Retirement Benefits Schemes Act (2000), Boal & Co (Pensions) Limited became licensed as a Professional Retirement Benefits Schemes Administrator with the Isle of Man Financial Services Authority.
