November 3, 2026 at 10:38 AM — by Global Financial Consultants

The UK Autumn Budget was delivered on 28 October 2026. While many of the headline announcements relate primarily to people living and working in the UK, there are several important developments for British expatriates, internationally mobile individuals and those retaining UK pensions, property, investments or other financial connections. For internationally mobile clients, the most significant issues concern pensions and inheritance tax, UK property and savings income, pension death benefits, and planning around a future return to the UK. This briefing focuses on the areas we believe are most relevant to internationally mobile clients. Key points at a glance 1. Pensions…

Just Got a Promotion in Singapore? 5 Financial Moves Australian Expats Should Consider

October 28, 2026 at 02:05 PM — by Global Financial Consultants

By Jarrad Brown You got the promotion. The email landed, the new title is official, and you’ve probably already told your family back home. Congratulations, truly. Then, somewhere between the celebratory dinner and the first look at your new contract, a quieter thought arrives: what do I do with the extra income? That’s the part nobody puts in the congratulations card. A promotion in Singapore often means a higher salary, a bigger bonus and sometimes a better benefits package. For Australian expats in Singapore, it also means bigger decisions spread across two tax systems, two currencies and two retirement setups….

What If You Couldn’t Work Tomorrow? A Financial Check-In for Indian Expats in Singapore

October 19, 2026 at 04:04 PM — by Global Financial Consultants

By Rohit Singh Nobody plans for the phone call that starts with “the doctor wants to run some more tests” or the fall down a flight of stairs that ends in a cast and months of physio. Health scares don’t arrive on schedule. Picture this: What if one day you’re heading into the office as usual, and the next you’re lying in a hospital bed wondering how long you’ll be out of action, and what that means for everything else. For an Indian expat in Singapore, that question carries a bit more weight than it might for someone who calls…

Beyond the Numbers: 5 Key Questions Australian Expats in Singapore Should Ask About Retirement

October 16, 2026 at 10:33 AM — by Global Financial Consultants

By Jarrad Brown Funny thing about retirement: most of us plan our next holiday with more care than we plan for it, even though it’s likely to be the longest one we ever take. Part of that is timing. A holiday is close enough to feel real. Retirement always seems to sit safely over the horizon, so it’s easy to tell yourself you’ll get to it later. Part of it is also that holidays are enjoyable to plan, while retirement forces you to confront questions you’d rather not think about, with no guarantee any of it works out as expected….

5 Money Mistakes British Expats Make After Moving to Singapore

October 9, 2026 at 09:38 AM — by Global Financial Consultants

By John Whittaker Moving to Singapore gives you plenty to think about. Where to live, how much everything costs, which MRT exit you should actually be using and why a five-minute walk somehow leaves you looking like you’ve run a half marathon. Your finances tend to come further down the list. That is understandable, but it can also get expensive. The UK financial system does not suddenly forget about you because you have got on a plane, and some of the decisions you make in the first few years overseas can follow you around for a long time. These are…

What Are You Really Working Towards? 5 Things That Will Make You Rethink Retirement as an Indian Expat

October 1, 2026 at 10:04 AM — by Global Financial Consultants

By Rohit Singh There’s a good chance you haven’t properly thought about retirement in a while. Not really. You know it’s out there somewhere, the way you know you should probably see a dentist soon, but between work, the kids, the in-laws, the next home leave and whatever visa paperwork is due this year, it keeps getting pushed to “later.” That’s fair enough. Life abroad has a way of filling every spare hour. But retirement doesn’t wait politely for a quiet moment to bring itself up.
