However, for higher earners there are a number of other important considerations. Our guide focuses purely on these ‘higher earner’ issues – many of which are related to the ever-changing rules surrounding pensions. Download now for simple explanations and practical tips covering:

• the personal allowance tax trap for people earning over £100,000 a year
• child benefit withdrawal for people earning over £50,000 a year
• the pensions annual allowance and how it’s tapered for anyone with annual income of £150,000+
• the money purchase annual allowance (MPAA) – a reduced annual allowance that applies once you’ve started to access your defined contribution (DC) pensions
• your options under the pension freedoms
• passing your pension to the next generation
• the pensions lifetime allowance and ‘crystallisation’ events
