AISMA hits out over pensions

Proposed NHS Pension Scheme flexibilities are unworkable and discriminatory, says the Association of Independent Specialist Medical Accountants (AISMA).

It labelled the proposals uninformed tinkering with the regulations and urged for a complete rethink of pensions tax legislation.

Vice-chairman Deborah Wood, healthcare services partner at MHA Moore and Smalley, said the proposals made it no easier for doctors to understand their pension position.
