Retirement tax questions

Not everyone can escape US taxation on UK pensions.

 

Note that IRS Publication 901, page 33, states that "Pensions paid by, or funds created by, the United Kingdom...........are exempt from US income tax unless the recipient is both a resident and a citizen of the United States".

 

Article 17 of the UK - USA Tax Treaty, section 3, is relevant, 

"3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 1 of this article, payments made by a Contracting State (in this case, say UK) under the provisions of the social security or similar legislation of that State (UK) to a resident of the other Contracting State (USA) shall be taxable only in that other State (USA).

 

As a resident and dual UK/US citizen I cannot find a way to escape taxation on my UK pension.
