Annual Allowance Webinar

19 Sep 24 5 min read

On last month’s Techy Thursday event we looked at all things tax relief, including how it operates for individuals, companies and third parties. 

The other side of the tax relief coin is the Annual Allowance – quite simply,  you can’t consider one without thinking about the other.

In this session, M&G Wealth’s award-winning Technical Team will take a close look at the fundamentals of the three Annual Allowances – standard, money purchase and tapered – how they work, how you calculate them and how you deal with any tax charges.

Les Cameron (Head of Technical, M&G Wealth)
Mark Devlin (Senior Technical Manager, M&G Wealth)

90 minutes video (approximately).
