Fears of a Halloween Brexit horror story for pensions have been raised by AJ Bell.
Thousands of pension savers have breached lifetime allowance ‘protections’ in the past 12 years, potentially landing themselves with tax bills running into hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Before you think you are reading an old article, I am of course referring to the start of the new tax year.
Pension savers will now be putting away more in their pots as part of an increase in auto-enrolment minimum contributions from 5% of qualifying earnings to 8%.

The immortal words ‘I propose to make it easier for people in personal pension schemes to manage their own investments’ led to what is now the self invested pensions (SIPP).
