Chancellor Phillip Hammond set out his new 2017 Budget for the UK yesterday, including an announcement that the personal tax allowance in the form of tax-free dividends will be reduced from £5,000 to £2,000 from April 2018.
Whilst many of those in retirement may not consider themselves investors, investing to receive an income through dividends can be a core part of a personal pension plan.
One of the most frequent questions our Wealth Planners are asked is: “How do I ensure I have an adequate Income in retirement?”, “How should I take my pension benefits?” and “How can I make my savings last?”. Very often the answer is a holistic approach that includes creating a well-structured financial plan and appropriately placed investments to meet that plan.
