Did you miss the chance to save tax?

I’m talking about pension contributions.

Those of us lucky enough to earn over £50,000 have just seen a reduction in the amount we can pay into our pensions.

That was part of a range of new measures, each measure will affect someone; If you have been paying more than £50,000 into your pension, or if you were planning to make an extremely large pension contribution in the year you retire, or if you earn over £150,000 and you’re in a final salary scheme – especially if a significant pay rise is on the cards.

At the other end of the scale, if you’re almost 60 and your entire pension pot is worth just under£18,000 you may be affected, too.

The rules changed immediately they were announced on 14th October, so if you recognise any of those, you’ll need to do some rapid reading-up, or get some advice.

Final Call for “Early Retirement”

On April 6th, the earliest age people can draw pension benefits rises from 50 to 55.

If you’re 30 now, you might file that under “whatever”.

If you’re between 50 and 54 now, you might want to think about whether the change will affect you. Obviously, the younger you are, the longer you will have to wait to draw your pension.

The pension companies are already busy with this work, tons of people need information – at least – and some are choosing to, er, board the flight if you’ll forgive the metaphor.

If you are affected, don’t leave it until the last minute to think about it.

Parsonage in print – a team effort

Last week, my new company start-up was covered in the local press. It’s very exciting to see that the journalist understood what I’m trying to build and she expressed it really well in her article. Thanks are due to Eddie Mair, John Humphries and John Prescott for years of training me how to answer questions in a telephone interview.

Also, Parsonage was advertised in print for the first time last week. A huge “THANK YOU” to Dave Lee at Blue Icon Productions, and Claire Shiels Marketing for their efforts.

I shall now attempt to attach Lymm Life magazine and the advert to this post.

(drum roll, please)

Here’s the magazine
