Has anyone on here registered with the BIR to save paying tax in the UK. I informed HMRC in the UK that I now live in the Philippines permanently and I assumed that I would no longer have to pay tax on the pension that I receive from the Universities Superannuation Scheme in the UK which is about £55 (tax) per month, but they said I have to be registered with the BIR in the Philippines and have sent me a Double Taxation Treaty Relief form (Form DT-Individual) to be filled in by both myself and BIR Philippines. I am told that in Philippines you only have to pay tax on money earned in the Philippines and that pensions are not taxed.
Can anyone with experience give me advice on this matter?
