Try NasaGroup - thats who I'm going with from the new FY. I registered last year, setup SIPP etc all ready for IR35 to come in, however the delays meant I haven't had to use them this year. You pay a £5 weekly charge, but you can quit easily amend what you want put in your pension. I think you can change it on a monthly basis, however contributions are made weekly.

It looks like I will have to use Brookson as umbrella for my next PAYE Contract .
On initial enquiry for the pension contributors, I was told can only use Aegon .. However there is one off charge of 695 and further ongoing charges of .75%
Does that sound reasonable ? Having self managed my SIPP before I would rather just have Brookson transfer monies in pension pot which I can self manage.

Because that one off fee is a completely unfair joke as is Brookson's processes.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

But what Eeks says.
The brollies have changed their pension offerings massively in the last year with many putting in to your pot where they wouldn't before. If Brookson are running a crap pension offering they should change it soon as it's about all that differentiates the FCSA offerings and will be a key decision point for potential customers.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Thanks. Yes, nothing much I can do regarding the choice of umbrella, even though I am paying the fees.
And looks like I will have to suck up the charges as well / will do a calculation but the perceived savings on pension contribution definitely outweighs the one-off charge.

I have a lot of problems with Brookson's including the fact they took over my old accountants and it was easier for me to do my own accounts when they had still failed to do them after 8 months of prompting.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
