Got old pension pots from previous jobs sitting forgotten with old
employers? The small pension pots rule lets you cash in any pot
worth under £10,000 without triggering the MPAA or losing your
£60,000 annual allowance. This guide explains who qualifies, how
the tax works, whether to cash in or consolidate, and how to track
down pots you may have forgotten about.
Planning for retirement with a Lifetime ISA offers unique advantages that many savers overlook. With tax-free growth, tax-free withdrawals from age 60, and a 25% government bonus, LISAs can be a powerful addition to your retirement strategy—especially for basic-rate taxpayers and the self-employed.
This comprehensive guide explains everything you need to know about using your LISA for retirement, including detailed comparisons with pensions, realistic projections of what you could have by age 60, and strategic advice on combining LISAs with workplace pensions.
Importantly, with the government planning to remove the retirement feature for new savers around April 2028, understanding your options now is crucial. If you’re eligible (ages 18-39) and interested in retirement planning, opening a LISA before the changes could preserve this valuable benefit.
Learn how to make the most of your LISA for a more secure financial future.
