BMA slates ministers for ‘unfair’ pension tax

A consultants’ leader has hit out at pension tax rules which are hitting some specialists with tax bills of tens of thousands of pounds.

Dr Gary Wannan, acting chairman of the BMA consultants committee, said: ‘It just simply cannot be right that these unfair and pernicious regulations are landing hard-working doctors with exorbitant tax bills for simply doing their jobs to the best of their abilities.’
