First Actuarial has developed and launched an NHS Pension Scheme annual allowance and tax ready reckoner.

The ready reckoner, commissioned by NHS Employers, aims to educate scheme members on pensions tax and the value of scheme membership. It is designed to give NHS savers an insight into their annual allowance position and give general information about their NHS pension. NHS Employers managing director, Rebecca Smith, commented: “The scheme can be a valuable tool for recruitment and retention, both of which are now more important than ever. This ready reckoner aims to help those scheme members who may be impacted by the annual allowance to have a broad insight into their position and what they can do to further understand their options.”
