Has anyone seen anywhere an explanation of what would happen to the lump sum element of the CB scheme if the amount exceeds 25% pension. Thanks

The information on the CB scheme is very thin on the ground at the moment, but the recent ‘newsflash’ on the subject did say they’ll be sending out a booklet soon.

But I would assume it will be the same as if we have more than 25% in AVC’s – it would be taxed!

Although in the case of AVC’s, I think if you transferred the residual amount to another pension you could get round that. Info: http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 27&t=69013" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
