A Golden Age? – Pension tax planning 2023/24 and beyond

90 min watch 20 Jul 23

After several quiet (ish) years, it’s been a tumultuous time in the tax world with much change from Budget 2021 through to Budget 2023.

With millions of new taxpayers, increased tax rates, changes to corporation tax, increased Annual Allowances and the abolition of the Lifetime Allowance there’s never been a time where it’s more important to understand the use of the pension tax wrapper in helping clients achieve their goals.

On this event Mark Devlin, Senior Technical Manager at M&G Wealth looked at how the current tax landscape affects clients and how pensions can help deliver good client outcomes.
