Key Points of the Video:
Abolition of the Lifetime Allowance (LTA):
— LTA Abolition has significant implications for pension savers, reducing the necessity for transfers to QROPS for the sole purpose of avoiding the LTA excess tax charge.
Increase in Annual Allowance:
— increased from £40,000 to £60,000, allowing individuals to save more into their pension pots each year.
3 years Carry Forward Rule:
— Despite the increase in the annual allowance, the ability to carry forward unused allowances from the previous three years remains, providing additional flexibility for savers to increase their pension savings.
Changes to the Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA):
— Increased from £4,000 to £10,000, offering more room for individuals who have accessed their pension pots to continue contributing to their pension savings.
Tapered Annual Allowance Thresholds:
— Increasing the adjusted income threshold from £240,000 to £260,000 and providing relief for higher earners.
The benefits of QROPS transfers:
— The future relevance of the QROPS market, suggesting that with the abolishment of the LTA and the specific benefits it provided, the demand for QROPS transfers may decrease, particularly for European retirees.
Impact on Transitional Protection Holders:
— Individuals who were previously restricted from making pension contributions due to holding transitional protections will now have the opportunity to “catch up” with their pension contributions, although this is subject to the three-year carry forward rule limitation.
