    out of interest if Bob won the lottery and the prize was £100k (25% tax free) or £2.5k (all taxed) per year index linked which would people go for? say you are 60 year old.

    I would go for an index-linked £2.5k per year actually.  :) That is partly why I only gamble on Set For Life rather than Lotto...  :D
  • And this is a lottery, not your pension. One is winnings either way, your pension is about giving up something for something else.

     That sounds like a faff 
    Your words. Considering the "9 essential steps" guide pasted earlier, chances of being able to set up a SSAS in the window between a negative recommendation and a CETV deadline appear dicey to the client prepared in advance to scale the route and completely unfeasible to the average client.

    The second option. I have other funds to deal with the first part. Seems much like an annuity option to me.

    The £100k is really only worth £69k to me due to tax (£25k tax free plus £75k at my marginal rate).
    I'll take an index-linked £2500 pa please (worth £2k pa at my marginal rate).

    Sorry forgot to add the £75k is only taxed when you withdraw. So you could take £2.5k a year index link it earn say 1% on the remainder after of course you’re gone through the several years of the tax free bit.
    me personally for starters would spend £15k on solar saving me about £1k per year link to electricity prices. The rest I would invest.

  • Do you really think this is comparable to your pension transfer?

    Why not, does Bobs other financial arrangements effect his lottery win decision. Sorted my GMP and no lump some. So what’s so complicated?
