Pension tax simplification, often simply referred to as "pension simplification" and taking effect from A-day in 6 April 2006 was a policy announced in 2004 by the Labour government to rationalise the British tax system as applied to pension schemes. The aim was to reduce the complicated patchwork of legislation built-up by successive administrations which were seen as acting as a barrier to the public when considering retirement planning. The government wanted to encourage retirement provision by simplifying the previous eight tax regimes into one single regime for all individual and occupational pensions.
Broadly the new regime allows considerable freedom in the tax relievable contributions that may be made to pension schemes, and the assets in which they may be invested. It also however caps the size of tax favoured pension fund that may be accumulated by an individual. This 'lifetime allowance' was set at £1.6M for 2007–08. Funds accumulated in excess of the lifetime allowance are subject to a tax charge of 55%. Transitional protection provisions were made for individuals who had already accumulated pension funds in excess of this amount.
If only the wind could take away these feelings
Why did you leave and take my life with you
Your last words are stuck inside my mind
And i'm left here with nothing but pain
Take me, abuse me, refuse me
I will stay, i won't run away
Take me, abuse me, refuse me
I will stay, forever in this day
Why do my words no longer mean the same
Why can't my tears be kissed by you again
You promissed that you would always stay right here
But you lied and it's only me now
Take me, abuse me, refuse me
I will stay, i wont run away
Take me, abuse me, refuse me
I will stay, surprised
For the rest of...
For the rest of my life...
This place, has your face
The wind sounds, like your voice
This sun, has the shine
Of your beautiful blue eyes
If only i could bring the shine again
If only i...
I wish i was someone ohh...
So i, could be with you
Take me, abuse me, refuse me
I will stay, i wont run away
Take me, abuse me, refuse me
I will stay... forever in this day (stay)
Forever in this day (stay)
