Tunica Arena and Exposition Centre

If you haven’t heard of Tunica Arena and Exposition Centre in Mississippi, then you’ve been missing out. As one of the host of some of the greatest sporting events in the county, it’s definitely worth planning a trip to the Arena.

With financial times becoming more and more tough, sometimes a day or evening out might not seem as tempting as it once was. However, with the Arena, they are constantly working to provide you with a great night out with low prices.

Rodeos

Tunica Arena was built to showcase rodeos, equestrian shows and other exciting horse related events. You can feel the excitement and listen to the gasps of the crowd as strappingly strong cowboys hold onto bucking bulls. You’ll witness thrills and spills as the cowboys hold onto their steers from your seat in the Arena. If that’s too much excitement for one night then go along to a quarter horse or miniature horse show.

If you want to enjoy a touch of privacy whilst enjoying your show, then you can hire one of the skyboxes and host your own event or just enjoy being in your own private space.

The Arena holds a variety of events each year. Rodeos and horse shows feature heavily but you’ll also be able to catch some motor shows, farming conventions, concerts and family shows.

Comedy acts and concerts

You may be lucky enough to be in town at the same time that a comedy act is performing at the Arena. Otherwise you could be in line for a night of music. The area is known for its links to blues, bluegrass and southern rock, so grab your hat and your boots and expect some great notes to take your feet to.

Trade shows and conventions

The arena regularly holds conventions and trade shows in its spacious pavilion. The Arena has over 1000 parking spaces, spaces for RVs and a concession area. It is the premier venue for equestrian and agricultural shows in the region. Check their calendar for planned events.

Latest Expo Event will be about Investments, Pensions, Savings and Money related.

Why UK Non-Residents Should Consider QROPS Pension Plans

If you’re thinking of leaving the UK within the next 12 months, or you already live abroad, then finding out about QROPS pensions should be on your agenda. Even if you worked in the UK for a short period of time but have now returned to your own country – you could be eligible to enjoy the optimal pension benefits that the scheme offers and save yourself some income tax too.

What is QROPS and Why Would You Want One?

QROPS stands for Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme. It’s an approach to holding your choice of investments in a container that has to adhere to the rules and regulations that the HMRC have set out. You choose which country you want your pension to be held in and then enjoy the benefits that this provides you with, for example by selecting the right host country you could enjoy:

• Pay no death tax duties
• transfer your investment options to named beneficiaries upon your death
• benefit from improved tax rates when you take a lump sum
• You are able to take larger lump sums than you can in the UK
• You can benefit from fluctuations in currency – take your benefits when the currency is in your favour
• There are over 1,000 pension schemes to choose from

What else do I need to know about getting onto a QROPS scheme?

If you have several UK private pensions that you want to consolidate into one scheme, then QROPS can do this for you. You won’t be able to put a state benefit into a QROPS scheme.

There are several jurisdictions available for your QROPS scheme and each of them offer different benefits. Your individual circumstances will determine which one is right for you. Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, New Zealand and Malta all feature on the list.

As with any financial decisions, it’s important to select a scheme after having done some research yourself and after taking professional advice. By selecting a scheme that is well run and offers financial security, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the benefits of having made a sound financial decision.

What’s the first step to getting a QROPS scheme?

If you are interested in finding out more about the QROPS scheme benefits then you can read more about them in our free guide to QROPS. Otherwise, you can call one of our advisors to discuss your unique financial situation. They can also help you to understand whether you are permitted to transfer your pension and what your transfer value will be.

You’ll need to be aware of what your retirement plans are, where you will be living and whether you will need to withdraw any lump sums for weddings, children’s school fees or property purchases. This will need to be taken into account when choosing the best QROPS situation for you.

Once you decide where to move your pension, it will take up to 2 months to complete the process.
