Pension Magic 2017/18: How to Make the Taxman Pay for Your Retirement Paperback – 20 Jun. 2017

I have the Taxcafe book on Inheritance Tax and Letting and they really have enabled me to save tax but carrying out transactions in a certain way.I got Pension Magic as this is a very topical subject with the annual allowance and LTA changes and once again liked the right mix of style, somewhere between professional advice and an informal chat. Lots of detail and the case studies, as with other Taxcafe books are well thought out.The book loses a star as nowhere in the listing does it say that defined benefit schemes are not included and you only find out when reading the intro (when you have already bought the book of course!), ie no mention of lifetime allowances or other related subjects.A bit disappointing but there are plenty of useful parts, especially around the benefits of drawdown over annuities.Still worth getting but be aware of the limitation.

Well worth the 5 stars, accessible, great examples to demonstrate the point and whilst not cheap, great value..

I was looking for a straightforward explanation of the benefits of using a Pension as a tax saving vehicle and this book did not disappoint. I was particularly interested in the ISA vs Pension angle and this book explores that very well. What I particularly liked was the way the book makes copious use of real world examples which really helps to understand what is being said.As a limited company owner I was also looking for guidance on whether it was best for my company to contribute to my pension or whether to do it personally. Again this book did not disappoint giving me all the information I needed to make an informed decision.Although not applicable to my situation there is also good information on Pensions vs Buy to Let.I highly recommend this book - you will almost certainly recoup the cost of the book and more by following the advice contained within its pages.

I am a full time property investor and I have recently purchased and read "Pension Magic".I found the book very easy to read, very thorough with loads of great examples and scenarios on how best to manage pension arrangements.Thanks to the knowledge I gained from reading the book I am meeting with my pension manager and accountant to discuss strategy going forward.Thanks for a great book.
