PENSION ANNUITY SCHEME FOR
SOLICITORS
Following the enactment of part V of the Finance
Act, 1958, which was introduced on the suggestion
of the Society, the Council have asked a firm of
experts to draw up proposals for a pension annuity
scheme which will enable solicitors to make con-.
tributions to pensions payable on reaching 65 or
70 years of age. The pension benefits assured by
such schemes can usually be arranged on the basis
of the number of units contributed by the solicitor
during the contribution period. There is no fixed
annual premium and the contributor may decide
for himself how much he will pay into the fund
during any year. Contributions may be deducted
from earned income liable to income tax and surtax.
A further statement will be published in due course.
