Global rules on foreign direct investment (FDI)
Cross-border acquisitions and investments increasingly trigger foreign direct investment (FDI) screening requirements.
United Kingdom | Publication | julho 2024
The new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, has appointed Liz Kendall as the new Work and Pensions Secretary. MP for Wycombe, Emma Reynolds, has been appointed as the new pensions minister. The pensions portfolio promises to be busy and we hope to see the following issues addressed as soon as possible:
The new Government has committed itself to a review of the UK pension system, although it is currently unclear exactly what this review will address. Hopefully, stability in pensions policy and certainty of the tax rules that apply to savers will be two of the outcomes.
Although the new Government’s has confirmed it will not reintroduce the lifetime allowance or alter the state pension triple lock, it remains to be seen if pensions could be subject to other tax changes. These could potentially include including pension pots in individuals’ estates for IHT purposes, decreasing the annual allowance which is now £60,000 or reducing the 25 per cent tax-free cash which can currently be taken.
