Virgin Money Stakeholder Pension:
... hold a stakeholder pension on behalf of my daughter. A change in the pension rules about 7 years ago brought about the stakeholder pension enabling women who didn t work to start a pension fund; the change also created a loophole that enabled even babies to have a stakeholder pension fund in doing so despite not working and not paying tax they are still eligible for 20% basic tax relief on contributions made into t...

Personal Pension Schemes in general ... is a vast and unjustified hype over pensions with every professional recommending the same product to everybody despite falling annuity rates.

It is often claimed that pensions get tax relief; this is true on a technicality but the annuity is taxed so all you get is the performance on the deferred tax pounds (unless you are a high rate tax payer before retirement and a standard rate payer...
