I wonder if the prat with an agenda is running the government, because whoever is running the government certainly doesn't have much sense for giving months of notice to business and savers that the budget is going to be harsh.
One of my former work colleagues is attempting to get his 25% tax free from his pension fund and isn't having much luck. I did the same a few months ago with the same company and it was very straight forward. I was surprised how quickly and easily it was to progress, but then again it was before panic had set in for those who have been planning their retirement. I obviously didn't predict the election happening so early in the year, but I wanted to get my tax free dosh before a Labour government was in power.
