Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Schemes pension investors drawing down benefits may see an extreme cut in the revenue they're paid.
The decrease in payments is not any change in the allowance, but the officially announced figures that pension firms have to include in their drawdown calculations.
The figures, from the Government Actuary Department (GAD) change due to two factors:
Falling yields on govt stocks
Pension reforms in Britain that decrease the drawdown pay out
GAD bases payments on yields from UK administration 15-year gilts, which have seen returns drop below 3.5%.
Pension financiers have witnessed the rates at 3.5 % to 5.25 % during the last 5 years, so some speculators going through their five-year review in September could see their revenue calculated on interest rates at least 1.75% less than those at the last review or start of drawdown.
Calculations rely on the pension member's age - but some financial advisers predict qrops pension scheme paying out on a yield one percent down will cut a fixed revenue by 10 per cent for a 70-year-old.
Pension reforms also play a part in the drop in income.
As a part of the raft of changes since April 6 that have revamped pensions, the GAD rate has gone down from 120 % to 100 per cent.
The change takes account of the latest official UK govt longevity figures - and as longevity increases, drawdown rates are probably going to continue to lower.
With consumer price index (CPI) inflation tipping 4 percent, the combined effect is an extreme change in qrops pension pay outs.
Not all QROPS are influenced - only those remaining under HMRC jurisdiction.
Other qrops pension scheme are administrated according to the pension and tax rules of the states where the provider is based.
QROPS investors could have options to boost their drawdowns, depending on the contract they have with their provider.
