BE PROUD OF YOUR PENSION

A well-planned pension is one of the best ways to invest for your future. It has the potential to grow tax-free, and we could help you get it just right.

 

You must be over the age of 18 and under the age of 75 and be a UK resident for tax purposes. You cannot access your pension benefits before the age of 55. The value of investments can fall as well as rise, and you may not get back the full amount you invest. Eligibility criteria, fees and charges apply. When transferring any existing pensions, exit fees may apply.

Let’s get you retirement ready

Trust us, with its growth potential and tax advantages, sorting your pension could very well lead to a brighter future.

But there are a few things to think about.

For example, you’ll want to make the most of any pension tax benefits. You might also consider transferring suitable pensions to one place – something you can do by yourself online or in other ways with our advice. On the other hand, there could be reasons to keep your pensions where they are. You might also be looking for the most suitable pension for self-employed people.

Yes, there is indeed a lot to think about. But fear not, we could help. From private pension plans to specialist pensions for business owners, we’ll draw on the right solutions to help your retirement dreams come true.

THREE THINGS TO THINK ABOUT WHEN PLANNING YOUR PENSION

  • 1. What do you want to achieve?

    Think about what you want for yourself and your family when you retire. When would you like to start drawing your pension? What will be your priorities at that time, for yourself and your family? It’s worth remembering that any money left in your pension when you die could be passed on.

  • 2. Combine your pensions

    Do you have many pensions in many different places? You could consider bringing them all together. Doing so could make it easier to keep track of your pension and mean lower administrative fees. However, there could be reasons to keep your pensions where they are – some pension schemes will have high exit charges for example. So it’s worth checking any benefits specific to your current providers, and any penalties they may impose if you transfer. If in doubt, seek financial advice.

  • 3. Consider the potential tax benefits

    You might consider raising the amount you put into your pension. The potential benefits include some pretty important tax advantages, such as income tax relief on your personal pension contributions. Let’s say you pay a total pension contribution of £100, for example. You only pay £80 of it, while the government pays the other £20. And if you pay a higher rate of income tax, you could claim more of it back through your tax return. Also, many people under 75 could benefit from tax relief on pension contributions even if they’re a non-taxpayer. There are limits, but it’s worth getting the lay of the land.

INFORMATION ABOUT INVESTING IN PENSIONS WITH COUTTS

It’s easy to set up an online pension

A relatively simple option in terms of setting up one type of pension is to do it online – you could set one up quickly on our platform, Coutts Invest, or combine existing eligible pensions there.

While it’s just one option among many, and so may not meet all your needs, it could be a useful part of your retirement plan.

Here are three reasons to consider it:

EASY TO SET UP, MONITOR & MANAGE
