British super

My daughter has left to work in London for 1 – 2 years. I have no idea of the British superannuation scheme. My question – if you could answer it – is, should she contribute to the British scheme whilst there, or somehow contribute to her Australian super?

Thank you for your commentary on the markets.

 

A: I am not an expert in the British scheme and really can’t respond to this part of the question.
In regard to Australian super, she can continue to make contributions from abroad. If she ceases to be an Australian resident and the contributions are to an Australian SMSF, then you should be mindful of the “central management and control” provisions. The ATO has more on this here.
