Whether you’re thinking about saving into a pension for the first time or making decisions for your retirement, it’s important that you make the most of your money.
Recent pension changes have had a positive impact on people’s feelings towards retirement and given them more choices to help achieve the retirement they want. From the age of 55 you now have access to all the money that’s in your pension pot. However, you need to be aware that this pension pot has to last you a long time, as most people underestimate how long they will live. Consideration also needs to be given to any tax that might be payable. We feel that it is important that you take independent advice through Anstee & Co, so that you can consider all the options.
You can see the amount of choices you have to take your money from your pension pot. But to have those choices you’ll need to have first built up a pension pot.
You might find yourself in one of or more of the following circumstances, each of which could be a potential solution to increasing the size of the pension pot you have.
Do you know you get tax relief on payments you make to a pension? For a basic-rate taxpayer, this means it would only cost £80 to get £100 paid into your pension pot. For higher-rate tax payers the benefits are greater.
