Pensions & other year end tax planning

Northern Society of Chartered Accountants www.norsca.co.uk

This course will look at the world of pensions to see how they impact upon clients, especially in the area of retirement and estate planning.

With people living to a much greater age, various governments, to try to encourage people to save for the future, changed the pensions’ regime dramatically in 2006 and have played around with it incessantly thereafter.

Event information

So the system remains horrendously complex but the rules present many opportunities. The course will look at the world of pensions to see how they impact upon clients especially in the area of retirement and estate planning. It is not a financial services course and will not be dealing with products from a financial services aspect but will be looking at how the latest available products can assist the tax planner!

We are also going to have to deal with the delayed Budget – will this start to raise taxes to pay for the massive borrowings caused by Covid?
So we need to have a look apart from Pension Contributions at what is feasible to do before 5 April 2021

Content

  • Contributions – quantum and pitfalls – Lifetime limits, Annual Allowances, Employer contributions – a quick reminder – why should we make a contribution now?
  • Planning advice – not just registered pension schemes;
    • What else can you save into that could be tax efficient? What about Cash rich companies…. How is BADR and BPR developing alongside pensions;
    • Why spend your pension when you could spend your ISAs?
    • Third party contributions;
    • Capital Tax planning in the light of the changes – is it more counter intuitive than you think?
  • Other Year End Planning including looking at:
    • Cash extraction,
    • Tax efficient benefits,
    • Is there any thing we need to do on loss relief?

Who should attend:
Partners and staff involved in the provision of advice to clients particularly in the area of estate planning and related items.

Munro Walk – Schiehallion

Join IMS members, friends and family for our eighth guided Munro walk. Schiehallion is a prominent mountain overlooking Loch Rannoch, and at a height of 3555 feet provides superb views. Its conical shape has rendered it suitable for scientific experiments.

The walk will start at 10.30 am at the Braes of Foss car park which is not far from Loch Rannoch, and about 8 miles from Aberfeldy.

The walk is on a good track and involves walking about six/seven miles. It is suitable for anyone with experience of walking on hills or moors. Boots should be worn, and walkers should bring with them warm and waterproof clothing, including gloves.

In order that we have some idea of numbers it would be helpful if you could let us know if you are planning to take part in the walk. All members as well as friends and relatives are welcome to participate (four legged companions are also welcome). Or you could just turn up on the day if you wish.

For information regarding the walk please contact Arthur Custance, +44 (0)1855 831590, +44 (0)7836 219528, [email protected]
