Tax Advisor’s – Please Help Answer Tax Question Of The Week!

Tax Advisor’s – Your Thoughts On This Question Of The Week?

Do US citizens with U.K. personal pensions have to pay tax on the 25% portion that is not taxable in the U.K? The tax treaty suggests two different outcomes. Article 17.2 – yes and article 17.1 a and b – No.

I have seen some are now suggesting as these are periodic payments rather than the US definition of a lump sum then the relevant article is 17 1b and the US savings clause does also not apply and these payments are not taxable.

Every Friday, TaxConnections addresses a question submitted to our Ask Tax Questions Platform. We ask our members to offer their thoughts on this question for the week. We realize you may need more information which you can request in the comments section below, or reach taxpayer privately as a TaxConnections Member.
