Non-resident withholding tax on Inherited Pension

I am resident in Dubai and have inherited the pension benefits from my father who passed away aged 76. I understand that as he was over 75, the benefit would normally be taxed prior to payment. Can this be paid to me without the deduction of tax as I am non resident?

Hi Angela,
Please have a look at the table at Tax on a private pension you inherit, as it will determine the taxation of the pension pot. As it is the pension that is being taxed, not the beneficiary, the fact you are not resident in the UK does not change the outcome.
Thank you.

How does the pension pot get taxed, and at what rate, if the non-UK resident doesn't have a UK tax code?

Hi ,
 

Please refer to : Tax on your UK income if you live abroad  .

Thank you .

Thank you, but this really doesn't answer my question. I note the answer to the original poster's question, that it's the pension being taxed, not the beneficiary, but a pension doesn't have a tax code, and neither does a non-UK resident. I appreciate this forum, but it would be really helpful if specific answers could be given, rather than references to other pages which don't explain the situation very well, if at all. Thank you.
