If you want these assets to grow in a tax-free pension environment
You want to protect your assets against UK Inheritance Tax (IHT)
You are UK Domiciled, whether or not you live in the UK
What are the Advantages?
QNUPS grow free of Capital Gains Tax
QNUPS protect you and your heirs from IHT
QNUPS are not subject to UK Pension Sharing Orders on divorce
Offers a tax-efficient and more flexible alternative to mainstream UK Pensions
Provides a platform to hold personal assets in a more tax-efficient manner
How do I Fund my QNUPS?
You transfer cash, assets or family wealth into the QNUPS, however your main residence cannot be accepted
There may be scope for other residential properties to be held
There are no HMRC restrictions on contributions into your QNUPS
Very substantial contributions are generally allowable, subject to your status
Contributions should be from private individuals and not from their employers
What are my Retirement Options?
From age 55 you can withdraw a 25% tax free cash lump sum
Prior to age 55 the Brooklands QNUPS can, at Trustee discretion, offer a loan facility (on a commercial basis)
Income can be paid from the Brooklands QNUPS normally without the deduction of tax*
What are the Death Benefits?
In the event of death, funds can go to your heirs or beneficiaries without tax consequence
As the funds do not have to be considered under Probate, they can usually be accessed immediately
There is no 7 year qualification period as there would be under other investment vehicles
Using conventional IHT planning methods one would have to ‘give away your assets‘
