@SA96 said: People were just purchasing the exam entry fee, and not the study material. I agree with the CII's decision to make a change. But you couldn't just purchase the exam entry fee with no accompanying study text. You had …

Yes I noticed it a few weeks ago and made a formal complaint. I'm not sure how people are gaining qualifications without having to enroll though. To be able to take the exam of the module you downloaded, you have to enroll... Unless people are using…

I didn't realise schemes were doing this on death to bypass the now LSDBA so that the beneficiary could gain access to a beneficiary drawdown contract where (on paper) they couldn't normally?

@benjaminfabi said: Doesn't UFPLS require either a rule change to the scheme or the use of the permissive override? And if they've implemented the former into the scheme to avoid using the latter, why wouldn't they have also implemented blink of …

For those that are interested or not seen it, the differences in the PTM manual before and after: Before: https://web.archive.org/web/20220531203553/https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/pensions-tax-manual/ptm062701#Bringing-a-drawdown-pensio…

I can't say for j09 as haven't done it, but when I did AF8 (coursework also) I would put a lot of the cash flow output into an appendix (which doesn't use Word count, but main commentary about it must be in the report).

Would the platform product being used (i presume it's a gross GIA) actually be owned by the superannuation fund and not the client? A bit like a gross GIA which is held under a full SIPP arrangement (i.e. the SIPP own the GIA, NOT the client).
-
Thanks. The trustees are considering surrendering the bonds to then reinvest to produce an income. We're trying to consider an alternative that is both practical, possible and avoiding paying the trustee tax rate!
-
Sorry my mistake, turns out they are all single owned (by deceased) with spouse as additional life assured
-
Tell them that they are throwing away their money (possibly £1,000s pa) for the sake of 10 minutes filling out a form! From experience, it's more likely the adviser who can't be bothered to fill out the form with the client, which is morally sham…

Hi everyone, I have seen a lot of commentary around the "meeting notes", "fact finding process" and "suitability report" side of things, but not so much on the compliance file checking side of things (appreciate this is a paraplanner forum and no…

Was there any tax-free cash involved, and if so, who paid it? I suspect this may influence the decision.
-
Thanks Les. An adviser has got me thinking again, as they mentioned "natural yield" within the pension wrapper and then gifting that yield away. However, is this even relevant if you are able to just establish a regular fixed income from the pens…
-
Agreed, learnt some interesting bits on the protection front here. Hopefully you can produce more like this in the future!

Aviva's one actually does, but it's heavily restricted on how you can take withdrawals - can only be ad hoc and not on a regular basis. They also won't accept drawdown transfers in. Feels like Aviva have shot themselves in the foot here a little...
-
Thanks both, Forgive my ignorance, but why would the dividends be subject to corporation tax? I thought dividends within a life bond are exempt from tax and only interest and capital gains are taxed at corporation tax rate?
-
On a side note - what is there to stop a large beneficiary drawdown pot (say £1,000,000) which is completely tax free, but the owner is now over 75 (therefore passing it on will have income tax consequences on the beneficiary), from just setting up …

If not then I'm sure the company santa works for has a suitable gifts and entertainment register!

Thanks everyone, has definitely been very useful and appreciate the time you've taken to reply.

I've been quoted this excerpt from FG21/3: "You will not know whether a potential transfer is likely to result in a recommendation to another safeguarded benefits scheme when you start the advice process. So you should treat the advice process as…
-
Thanks - I guess the immediate downside to keeping the loans as they are (assuming there is no waiver on death) is that the intended beneficiaries might have an issue paying this back to the estate.
-
Thanks both. This particular case, the client has just met NRD on the scheme (65 female)
-
I thought the rules changed so that new cash ISAs can't be opened until age 18 now?
-
Does anyone have a link to the regs which i presume have now been completed?

AIM Pension Portfolio Services? Similar to AIM ISA portfolios? Feels like it would become a thing...

I think Prudential have a load of free cashflow tools on their website.

I think the cost comparison is there (albeit not sure if it's personalised as haven't seen it) - i.e. your existing portfolio is X%pa and your new portfolio will be Y%pa - tick the box if you want to proceed or tick the box if you want to review oth…

Update on this. The firm is currently intending to go down a negative affirmation route to move all clients in a legacy CIP into the latest CIP. Personally, I don't see much issue with this route, however there is a bit of back and forth going on…

I've personally never had any issues with just the CII text book and past exam papers (all available in resources online). I did use Brand for R06 though and that was helpful and will likely use again for AF5 when i get to it.
