Old know all, you arerepeating the platitudes spouted by the government. It gives me 28% tax relief and then requires me to give that plus my own money to an INSURANCE co., not to the nation. Your last para confuses the huge annual Xmas bonuses the financial industry gives out to ALL senior staff, with the commission paid to its small salesmen who deserve it.
Gem, your scheme will not save you from having to gift 75% of your entire fund to the insurace at cats.
Steve B, Thanks for explaining the Plymouth Brethren loop hole. But even that confiscates you money in the end.
John, I agree with you. UK tax laws fleece the ordinary people, but allow private equity billionaires and their ilk, to pay as little as they like.
