Reflections on the Autumn Budget 2024 for financial planners
As we enter 2025 and as the tax year end approaches, Fidelity's Paul Squirrell reflects on one of the most talked about Budgets in recent memory and consider the implications for financial planning.
DownloadAutumn Budget 2024 – key takeaways
Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered the much-anticipated first Budget of the new Labour government on 30 October, outlining her plans to plug the £22 billion ‘black hole’ in the nation’s finances. Fidelity's Paul Richards and Paul Squirrell got together to examine exactly what’s changed – and what hasn’t changed – in areas such as pensions, ISAs and capital gains tax. They also consider inheritance tax and pensions and what the Chancellor’s proposals means for estate planning.

Pensions – still the first port of call for retirement savings
Paul Squirrell explains why pensions should still be the starting point for clients saving for their retirement.
Help your clients to maximise valuable ISA tax benefits
Identifying clients who could potentially benefit from moving unwrapped assets into an ISA is a straightforward process with our reporting services. Plus we give some tax-efficient fee funding tips.
Investing beyond pensions and ISAs
A client has money to invest but they have already made their pension contributions and used up their ISA allowance. So, what should they do next?
The LTA replacement regime explained
With the lifetime allowance replacement now in force, Paul Squirrell explains why this is good news for clients saving for their retirement.
Transitional tax-free amount certificates
Where clients accessed their pension prior to 6 April 2024 and used part or all of their LTA, they have the option to apply for a certificate providing them with additional allowances.
Pension contributions checklist
Our checklist is designed to highlight important considerations for clients making pension contributions. While there is no limit to the amount that can be saved into pensions each tax year, there is a limit in respect of the contributions that can potentially receive tax relief.

The value of investments and the income from them, can go down as well as up, so clients may get back less than they invest. The value of benefits depends on individual circumstances. The minimum age clients can normally access their pension savings is currently 55, and is due to rise to 57 on 6 April 2028, unless they have a lower protected pension age. Different options may have different effects for tax purposes, different implications for pension provision and different impacts on other assets and financial planning.
