Welcome to this month’s edition of Technically Speaking with SPAA’s Director, Technical & Professional Standards, Graeme Colley.
In this edition, Graeme will provide an update on the amendments to the income tax law for non-reversionary pensions on the death of a pensioner. These changes have an impact on the calculation of exempt current pension income and the calculation of the taxable and tax free components under the proportioning rule.
