    Thanks. I hadn't read that specifically, just the objections of pension firms to the planned treatment. I hope it changes to something other than the current plan for HMRC to skim off tax it isn't entitled to based on a bogus claim that a lump sum is regular income.

    I usually try to underpay tax by PAYE (better in my account until time to pay up!) but TBH it all comes out in the wash, so I don't stress too much.
    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    Agreed. Kept some of my tax in my account until 23:58 this year. :)
