Hello,
I have PR and plan to settle later in the year. My question has to do with the way in which income from savings is taxed.
I understand that the UK's tax free savings ISA only applies to the UK. So from the point I land in Canada, tax would need to be paid to the Canadian government on income from those savings. Or for stocks and shares ISAs, any gains within those accounts. Is this right?
What I would like to know is how SIPPs are treated. If I spend four years in Canada, and don't draw any money from the SIPP, but it grows in value - is the "income" (growth) taxable? The SIPP is a type of self managed pension btw. The growth would not be subject to taxation within the UK.
Thanks in advance.
