Pension plans abroad are not subject to Form 720 if they do not fall within the required categories of assets and rights

A Spanish tax resident asks whether UK pension rights must be declared in model 720. The DGT states that consolidated pension rights are not included in reporting assets, except where there is a life insurance-like right of redemption or a contingency arises.

The question raised

Question raised The taxpayer has resided in the United Kingdom from April 2012 to June 2021. As of this latter date, they declare to be a tax resident in Spain.

The DGT's ruling

Rights consolidated in a foreign pension plan do not form part of the assets and rights subject to the informative declaration of Form 720. There is no obligation to report as long as no contingency has occurred that allows for the receipt of benefits and the plan does not grant a right of surrender to the participant in terms characteristic of life insurance. Should a contingency occur, the beneficiary would indeed be obliged to report based on the surrender value or the established annuity.
