Brand Bitesize: Pension Carry Forward

Posted by The Team at Brand Financial Training on September 12, 2023 in AF5, AF7, Brand Bitesize, R04, R06
Brand Bitesize - Pension Carry Forward

In this Brand Bitesize video, we talk about the basic criteria that must be met for pension carry forward to apply. This is useful for CII R04, AF5, AF7, or R06 exam revision.

This video is correct as at 12 September 2023.

Pension Carry Forward

The pension carry forward rule allows clients to take advantage of unused annual allowances from the previous three tax years, and add them to this year’s allowance to maximise tax efficiency. If you’ll be studying R04 soon, you’ll need to be very familiar with carry forward and how it works. If you’ll be taking AF5, AF7, or R06, or you’re starting your coursework for AF8, this will be a key concept you’ll need to remember. In this bite-sized video, we talk about the basic criteria that must be met for pension carry forward to apply.
