Auto Enrolment – Are You Prepared?

By | Financial Planning

Under new rules that began to be phased in from October 2012, employers are required to automatically enrol all eligible members of staff into a workplace pension scheme and pay a minimum contribution into the arrangement for the employee’s benefit. This has been described as the most radical change to employee benefits since the introduction of the National Minimum Wage.

We have invested considerable resources into the Auto Enrolment process.  As a starting point we urge employers to read this brief guide to understand the employer obligations and the work involved.

Based on the experiences of companies who have staged, employers should begin the Auto Enrolment process at least 12 months prior to their staging date.

For further information on when your staging date is, or for a free initial consultation, please do not hesitate to contact one of our consultants on 020 7472 5555, or here.

 

New Model Adviser of the Year 2014

By | Financial Planning

We are delighted to announce that NLP Financial Management was named the New Model Adviser of the Year 2014 for Greater London at an awards ceremony in London.   This success follows on from being shortlisted for the award in 2011 and 2012.

Upon collecting the award, Adam Katten noted that our care and attention to both staff and clients was crucial to our success.

‘We care a lot about our staff, which is very important. We helped with training to get some staff up to chartered status, and we put clients first; it’s always been the mantra. I think a combination of care for staff and clients naturally leads to growth in business.’

We would like to thank all of our clients and business partners for their on-going support and look forward to enjoying further success in the future.

Autumn Statement 2012

By | Financial Planning

The 2012 Autumn Statement contained several points that require attention.

The continuation of HMRC clampdown on tax avoidance further restricts the planning avenues available.  Pension tax relief and benefits have once again been targeted, although there are still opportunities to maximise contributions and protect current pension benefits prior to April 2014.

For full details of the 2012 Autumn Statement, please follow this link to the HMRC website.
