About this listen

 With the right financial advice, landmines that threaten expat wealth can be avoided. Often encountered by US-connected expats, these financial landmines are more numerous, more hazardous, and less understood than almost anywhere else in the world. As a result, non-cross border professionals, wealth advisors, and even international advisors are often unaware of them. But don’t worry, Expat Wealth has you covered. Expat Wealth is dedicated to helping ambitious US-connected expats and immigrants navigate those challenges — and thrive.

A UK Chartered Financial Planner with international experience spanning the UK, Dubai, and the US, Richard was struck by how uniquely complex and challenging the financial landscape is for US-connected expatriates and immigrants — challenges that simply don’t exist elsewhere. He was particularly alarmed by the severe penalties that can result from simple mistakes, and how many expats, drawn to America for their career and financial opportunities, unknowingly put their financial futures at risk. Motivated by this, Richard founded a financial and investment planning firm focused on the needs of expats. That mission later expanded into a podcast, created to share vital information and cross-border tax advice with a broader audience. His goal: to help international, mobile individuals thrive — by seizing global opportunities while avoiding the hidden financial pitfalls that can undermine success both in America and abroad. -- Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.

    Upcoming changes to financial legislation mean many British expats should seriously rethink how and when they access their UK pensions. From April 2027, unused UK pensions are expected to be included in the UK inheritance tax (IHT) net as UK‑situs assets. For long-term expats with sizeable pensions, this could mean a potential 40% tax hit on what’s passed to heirs. In this episode of Expat Wealth, Richard Taylor – dual UK/US citizen and Chartered Financial Planner – is joined by Chris Hall – International Income Tax & Social Security Specialist at PKF O’Connor Davies – to discuss the upcoming UK IHT changes. They explore the importance of UK pension reporting upon arriving in the US, whether opening a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) makes sense, and how to design a coordinated retirement income and inheritance strategy. Richard and Chris take a detailed look at: IRS pension reporting requirements and how they apply for expats in the US. Pension Commencement Lump Sums (PCLS) and whether they are truly tax-free for UK expats in America. UK inheritance tax changes and what they mean for unused UK pensions held by persons living abroad. Strategic financial planning before, during, and after moving abroad, including retirement and estate considerations. -- Expat Wealth is supported by Plan First Wealth.
