A 'sleepy area of tax' is starting to wake up says Doug Beardon

The Pensions Management Institute is looking to create partnerships with other industry bodies in a bid to boost take-up of its auto-enrolment qualification.

Insurance giant Aviva is likely to shock the City when it posts a £3bn loss in its full-year results this week, the Sunday Times reports.

The e-petition against the government's decision to freeze the personal tax allowance for people aged 65 and over has attracted more than 100,000 signatures.

Schemes should design auto-enrolment procedures with a longer term focus than the staging date, Tesco corporate pension manager Karen Wake says.

The industry is concerned that a 'Tobin tax' could hit schemes investments.

Industry insiders fear that awareness of auto-enrolment remains alarmingly low.

The industry believes the government should extend its triple lock guarantee of the basic state pension to cover additional state benefits.

Pensions professionals are unsure whether the government's claim that it will always 'pay to save' thanks to its reforms is true.
