Uk and personal allowance

[petewan]

HI old timers living here on uk pension, I read (Cant remember where) that uk is concidering stopping personall allowences for those of us who have decided to become resident in other than UK. I live well here for the last ten years and hoped to end my days here but if this is brought in and my meager pension is taxed

for each pound i will have to return to uk where i have no house no transport and no money and live on benifits. The money i have the house and car i will leave here for my wife and child hopeing it will be enough as i cant see my pension going far in the uk and being able to send any money here to thailand.I new the amount i recieved in pension would not rise with inflation and making sure i was covered for the long term but this was not in my callculations. I dont believe we are a burdon on the uk as we dont get any of the benifits we could claim as residents and i have no desire to go back but it may be forced on me if this gets put on the agenda. There must be lots of expatts here in the same boat as i know a few who have nothing other than the state pension here to live on. I hope this is just a flash in the pan and not up for serios debate in the house, worrying all the same. happy ex patt in thailand.....
