An article by Roger Berry, Managing Director of Concept Group Limited.

For members in a current QROPS i.e Maltese or Gibraltar QROPS, it is possible to transfer out to a Guernsey QNUPs or delisted QROPS to achieve greater flexibility on investments and tax benefits but certain criteria needs to be met.

  1. Original transfer to existing QROPS was pre April 2017
  2. Members must be aged 55 or older
  3. Members must be non-resident from the UK for more than 5 UK tax years.

This can be a complex area on which professional advice should be taken. The above statement is a simplified summary answer.
