Retirement savings hierarchy webinar
Tax changes announced in both the Autumn Statement and Spring Budget mean there are important new considerations when thinking about the tax wrapper hierarchy for clients saving for their retirement. Various allowances have been cut – or are due to be abolished entirely – while other policy measures have been announced.
In this webinar, attended by a significant number of advice practitioners, Fidelity’s Paul Squirrell runs through how the changes affect the planning process while Jon Hale will demonstrates how to practically manage and facilitate any required actions on our platform.
