CIOT and IFS Debate: How should the tax system treat pension saving?

Join CIOT and the Institute for Fiscal Studies today at 18:30 for another debate!

THE DEBATE
How should the tax system treat pension saving? Is the answer different in a world of ‘pension freedoms’? Should income tax relief on pension contributions be restricted to the basic rate – or should income tax treat pensions like ISAs? Should the annual and lifetime limits on pension saving be reduced further, or increased? How should National Insurance and the new Health and Social Care Levy treat pension saving? Could tax reliefs for pensions be better targeted at those most at risk of under-saving?

These are some of the questions our expert panel will consider…
