Can I still get my 25% tax free lump sum

[Dockley]

I will turn 55 whilst in Australia, but leaving the UK at 54. I will not be working in Aus, but will be earning through my UK Ltd company via dividends. I would like to take my tax free lump sum from LGPS when I turn 55, but can this be tax free if I’m living in Aus? 
I can be employed by a UK company on PAYE during this time if I need to in order to be classed as a UK tax resident whilst living abroad.

For context:

leaving the UK March 25 aged 54

claim lump sum Dec 25 aged 55

continue with Ltd company dividends from March 25

 

OR 

close Ltd company down and move onto PAYE with an employer before leaving and work remotely for 12 months from March 25 whilst living in Aus.

I’m trying to avoid paying tax on the lump sum.
 

any help on which way to do this appreciated

Hi Dockley

 

I do not think you have too much cause for concern, see here: https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/super-for-individuals-and-families/super/foreign-super-funds/withdraw-a-lump-sum-directly-from-a-foreign-super-fund

 

All the best
