Islamic Pensions

  • Posted by Rizwan on November 17th, 2014 (Pensions)

Pensions are now more attractive than ever before for Muslims looking for a Shariah compliant alternative.

In brief terms the changes mean that, from 6 April 2015 any individual (and not just a dependent) can inherit the unused pension funds on the death of the member, where those funds are used to provide a pension or pay a lump sum death benefit.

For someone who is not a dependant, they can continue drawing a pension from the remaining fund and pay income tax at their individual rate of tax.

Where the death of the member or beneficiary occurred before age 75 any payments of income withdrawal to the beneficiary or successor can be made tax-free providing the funds are designated within a two-year period.

There is no longer a need to purchase an annuity.
