As the clock ticks down towards the introduction of NESTS in 2012 the whole face of pensions in the UK will undergo yet more change.
This year has seen further legislation for the personal market which throws open exceptional opportunities for certain individuals.
Flexible drawdown, the ability for individuals who enjoy a fixed income from other areas such as occupational pension schemes, creates the chance, for the first time, of a pension being available to simply use as a savings plan where members can get relief from, income tax, inheritance tax and capital gains tax all in vehicle open to many investment opportunities and, still HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THEIR FUNDS. This almost unbelievable opportunity will not be available to all but should you calculate that in retirement you will have a pension income from all sources, including the state approaching £20,000 per annum, you really need to talk to us.
