Pension Lump Sum - Tax Raid

Hi All,

What are the latest predictions on what the chancellor will do in the autumn budget?

I am thinking of taking my 25% of my four current pensions sooner rather than later.

I am working hence still paying in to one of the four.
Regards
Mike Williams

  • Hi All,

    Predictions by whom? The Daily Mail or normal people?

    Suggest you pull all of your money out of all of your pensions - just in case.

    But then again I don't know Jack about what's going to be in the budget, why would you want me telling you what to do?

    Any predictions by authoritative sources would be appreciated. However they are PREDICTIONS and may not happen.

    Rachel Reeves is the only authorities source that counts.

    If you have the TV or radio on at lunchtime on 26 November you will no doubt get the answer you are after.

    My predictions are perfectly authoritative, and I've got the chicken entrails to prove it.

    Stop looking at the news. 

    Seriously, stop watching TV news, stop looking at the news feed on your devices. It is doing you no good at all. 

    Whatever is decided in the forthcoming budget, it will happen regardless. Very unlikely anyone will gain by taking a speculative gamble with their retirement savings based on hearsay. If there are adverse changes we may have to pay a little more in tax. Boo hoo.
