New tax laws about foreign pensions.

[Ribaric]

I read from Ina Vukić's blog that we are about to get a new set of tax laws with regard to pensions from abroad. Ina is a diaspora blogger so don't be surprised about the slant she puts on things but, from a financial point of view, it looks like our American and ANZac friends (who are resident here and receive a pension from their home country) are about to get clobbered... again!

There appear to be three newly devized groups of people who receive a pension from abroad. Only if Croatia has a double taxation agreement with the country from where you draw your pension, do you have a choice as to where you pay tax. All others must pay Croatian tax at Croatian rates (triggered by Croatian earnings thresholds).

There's a lot more to it but, if you receive a foreign pension, start swotting. maybe you can start here...

they might struggle getting away with that.

Another nail in the coffin.......

Who remembers a recent report claiming Croatia was in the top 10 or 20 places in the world to retire?

Sounds like another reason for me to stay officially a resident of Hungary as UK pensions are zero rated for tax there. Only another 13 years to wait.....
