A PBR announcement referred to the advancement of some Pensions Act matters. PETER ARROWSMITH explains what is really going on
KEY POINTS
- The introduction of an upper accrual point.
- The effect of the increased UEL on potential S2P entitlement.
- The reason for the setting of UAP below UEL.
- Income bands and applicable NIC rates.
