How much a difference A Day makes!

6th April 2006 is A Day. That is when pensions entirely change. Prepare for these changes.

1. You are able to get tax relief on just about all your earnings.

2.Your pension can buy buy-to-lets, holiday homes and villas abroad; and it can even take out a mortgage!

3. You control the way you enjoy you pension when you retire, you don’t ever have to buy an annuity and your children can inherit your pension when you pass away.

1. All income qualifies for tax relief

You can pay all your income into a SIPP (up to £215,000 pa) which gets full tax relief. So, if for instance, you earn £100,000 a year and you are sitting with cash in a bank account that you don’t need, you can make payment of £100K into your SIPP and it will cost you as little as £60K following full tax relief.

Amazingly your child’s tax relief can be commenced and receive full tax relief. This is worth thinking about if you have the capital.

2. Your pension could invest in real estate

A SIPP is a self allocatedpersonal pension. A SIPP may invest in real estate in the UK or Abroad. You can sell the SIPP property you own, enhancing equity. Not only can your SIPP get a mortgage it can also assist in funding. And, of course, you can move your existing pension funds into your SIPP, so that takes the money away from pension company funds and frees it up to buy property.

The tax key features of your SIPP purchasing properties are vast.

a)There is no income tax for rental income

b)You do not give payment on Capital Gains Tax

c)Assets within your SIPP are not part of your personal estate on death.

If you own property outside a SIPP rent is taxed, at sale it is taxed, and at death it is taxed. Even so, place that home into a SIPP and the Inland Revenue will allow you delight in substantial tax advantages. That is why SIPPs are the hottest thing happening and millions of people will take one out over the next few years.

3. Compulsory Annuities cease and Retirement flexibility increases Most people hate having to buy an annuity when they die. You have to give your pension funds up for a life long income that dies with you or your spouse). So, as well as being very inflexible it is poor value for money if you die early and does not allow you to pass your pension funds on to your children or grandchildren.

After A Day, 25% tax-free dollarsis able to be takenfrom your SIPP. After which you choose how to receive an income or not to if that is what you desire! On your death your remaining pension fund goes to your nominated beneficiaries.
