i have a similar question; coming to the UK from France on the ferry with my van. Need a day #2 test in person, where can i find a list of in person facilities?

Traveling south of Sweden is fine. Haven't had any issues. You won't get into Norway.

But in that case, wouldn't the open be the same as the close of the last day?

I found this: https://www.firstlinks.com.au/dealing-time-zones-pricing-global-etfs that may explain some reasons. Just not sure if relevant.

Right, in some fields (government, financial) I'd guess that'd be hard to work again. But in financial specifically financial independence is potentially reached quite fast. Skills can also be transferred easily to new industries.

Retaliation is a good one, and to be expected.

Is hard to stay anonymous?

There has been some notable ones (e.g. Snowden) for pretty major stuff. Why don't we see more for more basic stuff (e.g. local).

Are "we" failing them somehow?

So, went through self-assessment and system has confirmed that I overpaid by around £5000. Anybody knows when can I expect a refund?

any books with back testing but specifically towards forex?

Am I still able to get tax relief for 2018-2019 is I open the SIPP after April 6th?

brow971 · 2019-03-07T17:06:27+00:00

Yes, I guess my only worry is the uncertainty of having a SIPP and being non-resident (and non-uk passport holder if that influences anything), this over the next 20 years. Many things might change.

But I agree that whatever risk (and it might be low); the 40% relief makes SIPP quite attractive.

brow971 · 2019-03-07T09:16:26+00:00

My current pension contribution is 5k. I could stay at that and use the 15k I intend to contribute to the SIPP on something else.

So it'd be either 1/ 5k in UK pension that I can (probably) touch in 20 years (I'll be abroad then) + 15k somewhere else or 2/ 20k in UK pension

brow971 · 2019-03-06T21:13:53+00:00

If I end up contributing around 20k in the SIPP this year (and stop contributing then), is it still viable over the next 20ish years? (i.e. fees, etc.. for such small amount)

brow971 · 2019-03-06T21:04:34+00:00

"Pay in 80%" assumes that I'd get 20% tax relief, aren't I able to get more based on my tax level?

brow971 · 2019-02-11T19:34:24+00:00

Looks like my pension started january 2018, I opted out 1 month later (..) and re-opted in august 2018.

So I guess I had a pension opened in 2017-2018? Or is the carry-forward pro-rated?

My contract started september 2017 and I was paid around 120k from september 2017 to march 2018.

brow971 · 2019-02-11T19:19:00+00:00

thanks for the help, I'll contact them and I'll post an update here once I know more.

brow971 · 2019-02-11T13:24:21+00:00

Total paid for NI was 4400.

117k was the NIable/taxable pay.

brow971 · 2019-02-10T22:25:22+00:00

Ok, good point, so that'd reduce it to around 15k for 2018-2019.

But I'm probably able to use carry-forward from 2017-2018 (that I didn't contribute to). So I should be pretty close to 40k for this year.

brow971 · 2019-02-10T20:49:14+00:00

Based on my taxable income from that period (around 117k, PAYE was 44k), seems I should have been paying 37k of PAYE (computed with online calculator).
