Tax on pensions

[Brightside]

I currently receive pensions from two workplace pension schemes, one is an NHS pension and one a teaching pension. Both are taxed in the UK, paid into a UK bank account and I transfer funds to Gozo as and when. I have now been told ( by an adviser in Malta) that I need to have the NHS one taxed in Malta ..... Whilst I would be taxed at a lower rate so it will probably be beneficial I don't understand why I have to do this as I thought paying tax on the pension in the UK would be enough and why one and not the other?

in general terms, income is taxable both in the UK and in Malta, but the UK tax is offset thanks to the double taxation treaty. Some pensions are exempt from this, but I'm not sure which ones ! possibly only one pension is exempt per person, but I'm guessing - are either or both of the pensions subject to automatic tax deduction in the UK ?

Both are automatically taxed at source. I have a third that kicks in next year too. I can't believe that a teaching, a local authority or an NHS pension are going to be outside the treaty so it may be that only one pension counts. I think I will need to question my adviser.
