As part of the changes that were introduced in January 2013, firms may choose to provide advice on either an Independent or Restricted basis. We have chosen to continue to advise our clients on an Independent basis with all of our advice being bespoke to each individual client.

As a starting point, it is prudent to check that you are making the most of appropriate tax reliefs. Specifically, it is important to examine the use of ISAs and pension plans

Have you heard that the ‘Lifetime Allowance’ for pension savings has been reduced from £1.5 million to £1.25 million? The change may result in a significant tax charge, and could affect those with company schemes as well as those with personal pensions.

This year’s budget resulted in a huge ‘shake-up’ of rules surrounding pensions. There are now more options and much greater flexibility – making pension plans much more attractive than before.
