There is a retained amount i.e. the bit above LTA being used for income. That gets a 0% charge, so no pension reduction and all the income gets marginal rate tax. Not seen anything suggesting it would work any other way and that's how the law say…

8 You can't just drop an overnighter you have to make a fiscal statement so I think you're safe. If your adviser thinks it isn't do it this tax year! With the downside of more growth to manage than if you delayed (if LTA reintroduced)
-
7 My view is it may well be a way t mitigate the risk of a reintroduction of the LTA. But you need to consider any PCLS paid out if you need to take benefits to get at your excess.
-
* The lower of 25% of 58.24 of the LTA and 25% of fund value.
-
5 you'll need to come up with that I think. They could consider putting all the money in drawdown so that if the LTA returns you only need to deal with the growth. And they could contribute more before doing so. It's a hard one to answer.

4 Whomever you spoke to at HMRC is wrong. If there is no TFC quoted on an enhanced protection certificate the max is 25% of available LTA based on a £1.5m LTA. I would check the protection was applied for correctly as lots of mistakes were made ar…

* Quite wide ranging but they could transfer there pension out overseas in 23/24 - No LTA charge. 24/25 will need to see what HMRC are planning to do.
-
2 Yes you can

* Best post a fuller question but nothing ringing a bell here

It’s still linked, for 23/24 at least.

It shouldn't. When she became a member in her own right she will have been told what her benefits would be and she'll still be entitled to them. PSO's create a clean break (that's one of the advantages of them). https://www.ppfmembers.org.uk/en/…

Yes they can. The treated as happening at date of death is just there to ensure the equitable treatment where there are multi schemes/beneficiaries. The test is done when paid / designated. Importantly we may have moved away from the charge b…

We run a webinar with these people - quite good I thought it sounded but not looked into it further https://thenbs.org/

Death benefits get tested when they are paid/designated not when you die. There are serious holes in the finance bill that need addressed though especially after this yesterday - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/lifetime-allowance-guidanc…
-
I think you should wait until the finance bill gets royal assent as the rules are up in the air and we've ntto got the faintest idea how the LTA will be abolished. Keep thinking about scenarios but wait until the picture is clearer (in my view) …

I believe Quilter tool only tells you the tax on the bond gain and doesn't allow for other tax issues created by gains. So you might want to pop it in here - https://www.mandg.com/pru/adviser/en-gb/tools-calculators/tax-relief-modeller

Your AA / tax relief thoughts are correct. If I was picky (and excluding DB accrual/conts) I'd say they could get pension contributions from all sources of up to £70,000 without triggering an annual allowance charge. The tax relief position wi…

@benjaminfabi said: If a member retains an 'employment link' to a DB scheme that's closed to future accrual eg a salary link, then the carve-out isn't applicable. Yes, if your service is stagnant but you have a link to a final salary then…

@Nath said: On that basis and that Clerical Medical will surely be buying the annnuity to pay the GMP, it would be the £131K I suppose. No, the 65k fund value doesn't support the GMP so it'll be GMP x 20. They will need to use the 131k t…
-
You need to look at each arrangement separately and whether they are active or deferred is a matter of fact based on the circumstances. The 95 section appears deferred, the 2015 does not. But I'm by no means an NHS pensions expert
-
Hi You have said s32 here. My understanding is where the fund value supports the GMP you have a lifetime annuity essentially so use fund value. If it does not, as in your case it is effectively scheme pension so multiply by 20.

From PruAdviser Tech Centre The general rule is that property does not qualify for business property relief unless it was owned by the transferor throughout the two years immediately preceding the transfer (S106). The nature of the business carri…

I believe your personal and SIPP holdings are combined too. So 85k in total

"Investments with a life insurance element presumably includes a PruFund ISA too." Yes!

I've always understood they are considered but this is the DWP guides for Staff if you scroll down to H2 - Capital Disregards you will see that onshore investment bonds are disregarded indefinitely. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/advice-…

They can effectively invest in anything their articles of association allow. Pru gave a guide to corporate investing you may find useful. There are many tax considerations but at the end of the day it's an investment decision. https://www.mandg.…

Pru also have a gain calculator that also allows you to model different outcomes based on the withdrawal amount. https://www.mandg.com/pru/adviser/en-gb/tools-calculators/bond-gain-tool Identifying the minimum gain isn't necessarily correct th…
