Re: Cancel a German Retirement Pension?

Thank you PandaMunich.

As said in my initial post, I was dumb to accept when resident in France, but also ignorant as to the consequences when later becoming resident in Germany.

Thanks for the link.

Re: Cancel a German Retirement Pension?

I am still digging for more information before then actually trying to find a physical professional to help in the matter.

I was wondering whether PandaMunich has any insights into the matter?

Re: Cancel a German Retirement Pension?

Thank you SOOOO much john_b! I had never even thought of using chatGPT. I'll follow your suggestion and write to them and see what happens. It is indeed a nightmare, especially as TK has no intention of reimbursing anything if I do manage to stop the German pension andeventually get an S1. Thank you...

Re: Residency Duration, UK home, CGT

Thank you so much for your rapid reply PandaMunich. I really appreciate it. I realise that CGT will be due in the UK and thank you for the clarification that it will not be due in Germany. You write that the next day, after returning to Germany, I could sell the UK house and the sale will not be con...
