Case Study
• Presentations to staff covering Annual Allowance, Lifetime
Allowance and Pension Freedoms.
• Potential risk of staff not fully understanding the changes
and the effects that they might have (tax liabilities).
• The aim of the presentations was to make sure key staff
who may be affected by the changes had a good
understanding of the subject and were therefore able to
take steps to mitigate any potential taxation issues.
