I've got a SIPP pension (i.e. Deposit cash as and when choose. Personally decide how much (0-100%)to invest in stocks n shares/what stocks n shares/when to sell stocks n shares. Could leave as 100% cash if preferred).
Being able to take the whole lot out as cash (after 55) rather than buying some boring annuity from an insurance company is excellent.
Taking the lot out does involve paying tax on it, just less than before and you can take it all now.
This will provide a bump to the gvnmt coffers I reckon as people cash in.
First priority is generate 12k from other sources then you can take what you want in drawdown but 150% of annuity rate is prob still a sensible proportion.

I though both programs were far-fetched rubbish when I first watched an episode. Then when I watched them both later I realise they were fly-on-the-wall documentary series.

Surely the increase in the personal allowance and freeze on beer (and cider) and fuel duties must make a contribution.
By the way, I heard a reference to £2000 refund for every company employing people. The 'Employment Allowance'
Do we get this, if we pay ourselves more than the NI limit?
EDIT: oooh, nice

Does this mean we can or can't?

What were the Tories thinking with that advert?
