Early Retirement
Get Early Retirement Advice…
Currently if you are 50 or over you may be able to take early retirement pension benefits from your pension fund however pension schemes operate under many different sets of rules and can prove extremely complicated and difficult to understand. As we move to 2010 the pension minimum age will go up to 55. Another major change is that tax free cash is set at a maximum of 25% of your pension fund. Current pension rules limit the amount you can build up in your pension fund. This "Lifetime Allowance" stands at £1.5 million in the 2006/07 tax year.
If you are considering early retirement we recommend that you seek impartial advice.
