In response to your second question: quite possibly ... though I am
reticent about giving categoric advice on a discussion forum without
having the full details to hand.
In response to your first question: hmmm ... not sure. I think section
27CAA will probably continue to apply to temporary residents, but it may
not be possible for temporary residents of Australia to secure a
transfer of their pension fund out of the UK (though this might change
with the new pension regime in the UK from the 6th of April).
Because of the possible tax at stake I would have to recommend taking
professional advice on both issues.
Best regards.

Thanks Alan we will be seeing our UK accountant soon and our financial
advisor for that matter (think I had better give them the questions
first so they can do some homework!) We may need to consult someone
with more international experience though -any recommendations here in
the UK ?(Greater Manchester but will travel!).
