Recent legislative changes introduced by the coalition government have had a major impact on the way pensions will operate in the future. We will look at these changes in greater detail and their potential impact when planning for retirement. Of these changes, we have welcomed the following:

• Pensions are now simpler and more flexible
• There is no longer the requirement to annuitise or purchase an Alternatively Secured Pension (ASP) at age 75
• The ability to carry forward unused contributions from previous 3 years
• Continuance of the highest rate of tax relief.

However, it is clear that the reduction in the Annual Allowance and Lifetime Allowance will mean that a number of people will have to redirect their contributions to non-pension investments. Higher earners in particular may need to consider new ways to plan for retirement.

These announced changes in tax policy have created a need for options beyond traditional pensions. In view of these changes, AAG Corporate Services are hosting a presentation to help explain how the changes may affect investors.
