In brief

Ending employment, moving a household and ceasing tax residence are related facts with different legal consequences. Make one dated record of the move and use it for Immigration, the tax adviser, CASS and financial providers. No pension refund or universal absence allowance is established here.

  1. Review income and gains before disposing

    Editorial preparation: identify final salary, deferred bonuses, business holdings, property, bank balances and investments retained in Andorra. Ask which resident or non-resident rules, reporting and payments apply to each. The resident IRPF page is not a complete departure or non-resident guide, so no universal exit-tax or exemption conclusion is drawn.

  2. Ask about the residence permission and parish record

    Editorial preparation: notify the Immigration Service of your actual plan and request the applicable departure, cancellation, absence and future re-entry steps for the precise category. Ask the parish authority about its register. An A.1 permission’s effective-residence condition warrants an individual review before living in India while keeping the card.

  3. Preserve CASS and provider records

    Editorial preparation: obtain contribution and employment histories and ask CASS or the pension administrator what future benefit or overseas payment process applies. Confirm bank and investment access from an Indian address and arrange final bills. Keep beneficiary and recovery details; do not assume contributions are withdrawable on departure.

  4. Coordinate the Indian first-year file

    Editorial preparation: give the Indian CA dated residence facts, gross Andorran income, taxes paid and asset costs. Compare keeping and selling before action, then use the common India chapter for bank redesignation and foreign income/assets. Confirm the appropriate Indian mission’s responsibility rather than assuming an Andorra-based service counter.

Model the decision with your own figures

Prepare the dates, currencies, costs and amounts you know. Keep tax eligibility, provider access and uncertain assumptions on your adviser’s question list. The calculators show those assumptions explicitly.

Questions to take to an adviser

  • Do retained economic interests keep me Andorran tax resident?
  • Which final and continuing returns apply?
  • What happens to my actual residence permission?
  • What CASS records are needed for a later pension claim?
Pause if you hear this“Leaving Andorra makes all final payments tax-free” or “every social-security contribution is refunded when returning to India”.
