"People understand. Ten years ago, if you were talking about pensions you were probably the most unpopular and boring man in the room, but not these days." Big day for pensions NEW pensions regulations to encourage people to save more towards their retirement begin today. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT The biggest overhaul of the rules governing pensions for 50 years aim to simplify pensions by replacing eight tax regimes with one set of rules. Workers will now be able to save up to 100% of their salary each year up to a limit of £215,000 in 2006/2007. A lifetime cap on the amount of pension saving that can qualify for tax relief is also being introduced, set at £1.5m this year. Other changes will enable people to continue working for a company even after they are drawing their pension from it.
