      So there are 2 types of pensions ? Savings-account-like-one-that-also-saves-taxes AND another one - an Annuity one which pays until you are dead.

      The annuity one from Norwich states that TAX will be deductive.

        Tax will be deducted from the annuity that they pay you.

            No, you have a pension account or fund which accumulates (tax free) over your working life and then when you retire you buy a pension product, e.g. an annuity, with the money in your fund. The amount you receive each month from the company from which you buy the product is taxed as income just like it were income from employment.
            It's about time I changed this sig...

                  aghhhhhhhhhhhh

                  Main differences

                  1) Interest in a savings account is taxed in the current tax year. You can add / withdraw as you like

                  2) Interest in a pension fund is not taxed. You can't withdraw it (i.e. buy an annuity/ income drawdown) until later in life. There are maximum amounts you can add.

                  A pension is a bit of gamble: +ve - you get tax relief; -ve - how will Gordy / future government change the rules?

                  No wonder IFAs, banks, etc. can rip people off so easily
