I have wondered about us deferring state pensions as some people have said this is worthwhile but I need to look into that. I guess this is the same thing as you have in mind?
I'm in the US and when at 70.5 the US tax people require that you start making a certain minimum withdrawals from tax deferred accounts. So deferring state pension allows a few more years to spread out the tax deferred withdrawls in a lower tax band.“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0 -

As far as I am aware and I need to read up more on this the first £2000 of dividends are tax free for both of us and after that it must be declared as income. As the total income based on historical yields will be around £4000 a year we have structured it so £1000 is in my husbands name and the rest in mine to use up my tax allowanceI will move the income yielding funds back to accumulation0 -
