Enhanced Tax-Free Cash (Fixed Protection 2016)

WRB · August 12

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a case where the client has ETFC. The entitlement figures I hold are a couple of years old, but I’ve recently received an updated valuation. Can I apply the existing ETFC percentage to the new valuation, or is it necessary to request an updated ETFC figure from the provider?

Many thanks,
W

What do you mean ETFC? The only TFC that works on a percentage basis is someone with enhanced protection who had rights in excess of £375,000 as at 5 April 2006.

I suspect you mean scheme specific protected tax free cash - if you have the values from the first calculation and you have the current fund value you will be able to do the sums yourself.

It's basically the A day protected amount revalued to today then 25% of the post A-day growth added on.
