Pensions - Articles - Budget:Green Paper and pension tax relief, comment from JLT


On the “Green Paper”:Hugh Nolan, Chief Actuary, JLT Employee Benefits, comments:

  “We welcome any genuine consultation to put pensions onto sound footing for the future, recognising that it’s just one form of overall saving. There may be concerns about a hidden agenda or unintentional consequences with young people being particularly vulnerable to future changes in policy before they retire.”
 
 On Pension tax relief:
 Hugh Nolan, Chief Actuary, JLT Employee Benefits, comments: “Top 1% of taxpayers get 14% of pensions tax relief, so the Budget removes up to £13.5k tax relief from highest earners. There will be administration nightmare for employer and employees impacted by this.”
