  5. Periodic payments policies (life annuities) • Several types now apply • Original type as a core insurance product – i.e. Life long payments after 62 years – payments stop when you die. • Now a optional guaranteed payment is available to your family – but making the life annuity smaller • Possible to obtain a smaller annuity payment for your spouse and/or children - either for life or time restricted. • Everyone can open an account regardless of age • Is often opened after 62 years • Rules for contributions and payments of income tax follows annuity pensions until now • Since 2010 – the only pension scheme with unlimited contribution rights

  6. Retirement Pension • NO tax relief when paid into the scheme • No tax paid on pension when paid out as a lump sum (can be paid out in several lump sums) • Must be paid out before 75 years • PAL tax like the rest of the pension schemes. I.e. 15.3% tax on ongoing return from the scheme
