J eremy Hunt is planning to overhaul a tax on company pensions in an effort to unlock tens of billions of pounds of investment in the UK economy.
Companies currently enjoy corporation tax relief on contributions paid into defined benefit DB pension schemes, which promise a set retirement income to members. However, withdrawing cash from pension schemes when they are in surplus currently incurs a 35pc tax charge. The levy was first introduced in the s to try to stop companies from building up surpluses to dodge tax. It has not changed since the start of the millennium.

Years of low interest rates have resulted in DB pension plans needing greater up-front contributions to meet their long-term obligations. However, the recent surge in borrowing costs has had the opposite effect, leaving many schemes in surplus. XPS, a pensions consultancy, believes around a quarter of operational DB pension schemes are currently running surpluses of around £10bn to £15bn. Sir Steve Webb, a former pensions minister, said efforts to reform the 35pc tax and make it easier for companies to access surplus retirement fund cash would provide an immediate boost to investment.
One source suggested that reducing the charge to match the current level of corporation tax of 25pc would be a fairer approach. However, government insiders said Mr Hunt may not need to slash the rate to 25pc to stimulate the economy and stressed that no final decisions had been made. Withdrawals would only be permitted for well-funded schemes. The Treasury declined to comment. It came as separate research showed that recent bond market chaos has triggered the biggest exodus from stocks since the Liz Truss mini-Budget chaos.
Rapidly rising bond yields triggered the biggest sell-off of equity funds since September , according to global funds network Calastone. Investors pulled £1.

This was the sixth month in a row of net selling and takes the total pulled from stocks so far this year to £2. Bond yields in the UK, the US and the Eurozone have rocketed to more than decade highs as markets price in the fact that interest rates will be higher for longer and amid fears about unsustainable levels of government debt. And when longer-term market interest rates rise like this, asset prices of all kinds come under pressure.
In October, investors pulled £m from funds focused on UK stocks. Funds focused on ethical, social and governance issues ESG also suffered their sixth consecutive month of net selling and their second worst on record as investors prioritised safer havens over social concerns. Investors have pulled a total of £3.
Investors last month piled £m of new cash into money market funds, which are considered a safe haven.
