I'll dig up this old thread as I will soon be in the same position. I will be able to access my pension pot ate the end of this year, one of the options includes the 25% cash free payout.ricardo wrote: ↑Mon Apr 09, 2018 11:35 pm I have the option of taking a lump-sum payment of around ¥15 million from a UK-based pension scheme. Under UK legislation it is paid to me free of UK income tax. I want to use it to pay off my Japanese home loan. I am a permanent resident of Japan for tax and other purposes. How will this payment be treated by the NRA?
Now it maybe tax free in the UK, not sure what Japan would think about it. Ricardo did you sort this issue and could you share the result?
Cheers
