24 May 2005: Breakfast Pension Seminar for IAMA UK Members presented by Hazlems Financial Ltd
All UK IAMA members were invited to a free breakfast seminar presented by Affiliate Members, Hazlems Financial Limited at the Royal Automobile Club (RAC)
UK registered Companies which have not taken note of the changes in law affecting pensions after 6 April 2006, should seek advice. The current eight types of pension plans are all due to be simplified after April next year and this has some positive and negative aspects. For example:
- You may contribute any amount up to £215 000 per year. Taxation will only affect funds worth over £1,5 Million.
- All assets, liquid and hard, can be put in your pension fund.
- You can bequest your pension fund(s) after your death to your nominees if they are members of the scheme – almost like a trust fund for future generations.
- If you have a pension fund, you should examine the tax-free payout terms. After April, only 25% will be allowed but you can protect your existing percentage if this receives notification before April 2006.
Should you not have an advisor, Hazlem’s Financials are happy to advise you without cost.
