Why does updating my client’s regular contribution investment strategy switch off automatic rebalancing?

For this reason, we switch off auto-rebalancing. You can switch auto-rebalancing back on by completing the Investment strategy instruction.

How would a client have triggered the money purchase annual allowance?

For financial advisers only When the pensions freedoms were introduced in April 2015, the government introduced a number of new options for taking money from a pension plan. Using one of these new options (for example, taking drawdown income from a flexi-access drawdown plan, or an uncrystallised funds pension lump sum) is called ‘flexibly accessing pension rights’. If someone does this, from then on they're subject to a lower annual allowance threshold for new money purchase savings into their pension(s). The lower annual allowance also applies to those in flexible drawdown before 6 April 2015. A tax charge applies to any money purchase savings which exceed the money purchase annual allowance (£10,000) in each tax year. If you'd like more information, visit our Pension Technical Zone.

What is a pension credit enhancement factor?

For financial advisers only If a pension credit arose in whole or in part from a pension which came into payment on or after 6 April 2006, the recipient can apply to HM Revenue & Customs for a pension credit enhancement factor. The factor increases their lump sum and death benefit allowance and takes account of the fact that the pension credit will already have been tested against the original member's lifetime allowance or lump sum and death benefit allowance when the benefits were taken. For more information, please visit our Pension Technical Zone.
