Attitudes towards Pensions
Online research exploring possible effects of tax rule changes on the public's perceptions around pensions
Six in ten (61%) non-retired UK adults agree they would be more confident making long-term financial plans for retirement if they believed pension tax rules were unlikely to change significantly in the future, with just 6% disagreeing, according to new research commissioned by St. James’s Place (SJP).
