Retirement tax guidance in Tunisia

Estimating your tax as a UK retiree in Tunisia

Working out your tax before you move abroad is one of the most useful things you can do. The exact figures depend on your personal circumstances - your residency status, the type and amount of your pension, and where your other income comes from - so there is no single answer that fits everyone. This page explains how to approach it and where to get reliable numbers for your own situation.

Two conversations worth having

• A UK-based tax and financial adviser. They can review your pension and overall UK tax position, explain what changes when you become resident abroad, and flag anything specific to your income. It is also worth asking about your UK State Pension, which may not be increased each year while you live in Tunisia.
• A Tunisian tax adviser. For the local side, Silver Resorts can put you in touch with a Tunisian tax adviser who will explain the rules that apply to residents and help you understand what you would pay locally.

Together, these two perspectives give you an accurate, personalised estimate - far more reliable than any generic calculation.
