Re: Taking pension out of Switzerland

So correct me if I dont get this....

Below says if you move back to the UK say and you do not have to pay into the state pension fund (because you have already made the maximum contribution of 30 years as it is now in the UK) you can just take the cash minus tax at source from your Swiss contributions?

"I am moving/have moved to a EU or EFTA member country and am NOT subject to compulsory State pension insurance. I attest that I will have the competent foreign authorities provide the necessary proof (via official application form to determine social insurance liability - see www.verbindungsstelle.ch (also in english)). I wish to have my full vested benefits paid in cash (subject to tax at source)."
But you would still be subject to compulsory State pension insurance, wouldn't you? UK workers who have paid their 30 years STILL have to pay National Insurance and continue funding the communal pension pot, unfortunately.

Would this only apply to people past the state retirement age, perhaps..?
