Moving to UK, Transfer the pension?

[dobsdave]

Hi Folks,


Was made redundant end of May but just got offered a job in the UK.
The pension details of my last job were: transfer value 33k approx or deferred pension of 5600 per annum.

I really haven't got a clue about pensions so....

a) Should I leave the deferred pension alone
b) transfer it to a different scheme in Ireland
c) Transfer it to the scheme of my new job

Thanks.

have you been offered a job already in the UK, if you payroll it right you can bring your tax free allowance up and factor in subsistance, rent, food, travel and blow a hole in your uk taxeable income.

Thought of that, thanks, but paid in sterling.Also looking to buy a car up there and save on the VRT.
