Leave a comment

If you have a UK pension but no longer live in the UK you can now transfer your pension to a QROPS. A QROPS transfer can give you many benefits.

ZURICH, Switzerland (June 1, 2014) — If you have a UK pension but no longer live in the UK you can now transfer your pension to a QROPS. A QROPS transfer can give you many benefits. However if you are in a Final Salary scheme you need to act now! Or you may be sorry, as time is running out!

A QROPS transfer can give you the following benefits:

•This can reduce the tax you pay.
•Allow access to your pension from age 50 rather than 55.
•Allow you to take a larger Cash Lump Sum.
•Allow you to take a larger pension.
•On death no 55% tax. (This is the rate of death tax on a UK pension)
•You can take your income in your local currency rather than in sterling.
•On death all your pension fund can go to your loved ones.

In the UK budget March 2014 the Government’s announcement that it intends to stop transfers from Final Salary pension schemes, also known as Defined Benefit pension schemes. This means the option to transfer to a QROPS is to be removed. This change may be in pace as early as 2015.

If you are in a Final Salary scheme you need to act now! Or you may be sorry, as time is running out!

Moving your UK pension arrangements to a QROPS if suitable given your own particular circumstances, can only improve your position.

Most importantly, once moved to a QROPS you have control over your money. If left in your UK pension arrangement it is highly likely that additional constraints will be put in place which will adversely affect you.

If you have a UK pension and have left the UK, or are considering a QROPS transfer, contact Waterstone Investment Associates.

E.B. Tool Company Helps the DIY Handyman Safely Reclaim Wood

Leave a comment

E.B. Tool Company warns the household handyman and the professional carpenter of the dangers involved in using reclaimed wood.

Gays Mills, WI, June 01, 2014 – One look at Pinterest, Facebook, or DIY blogs, and it is clear that using reclaimed wood and pallets is a popular trend. From making book shelves and patio furniture to bed frames and dining room tables, plans and diagrams are readily available. However, what many of these sites and sources fail to do is warn the do-it-yourself handyman of the dangers lurking in the old wood.

To avoid accidents, injury, or irritation, E.B. Tool Company encourages the DIY handyman to take precautions to avoid contact with chemicals and toxins, lead paint, pests, and rogue nails and screws. These handyman tips, fully outlined on the E.B. Tool Company blog, include:

* Wearing gloves, a mask, and eye protection when handling old wood
* Using an air purifier or dust collector during construction
* Thoroughly washing, treating, or sealing materials as needed
* Sourcing wood from reputable suppliers who know the material’s history

E.B. Tool Company fully supports repurposing used building materials to create custom masterpieces. In fact, to make wood recycling easier, the tools and supply company created the innovative KwickGripper nail removal tool. Using the KwickGripper, the family handy man as well as the professional carpenter can get into small spaces and remove broken fasteners without causing damage to the reclaimed lumber.

Learn more about the safe use of reclaimed wood and how to preserve it from damage with the KwickGripper at www.ebtoolcompany.com. Discover how to detect lead in painted wood or how to kill bacteria, mold, and fungus in old wood, and find out how to easily remove nails and fasteners before construction begins.

Visit www.ebtoolcompany.com or call 608-630-5611 for more handyman tips, project ideas, and tools carpenters need. E.B. Tool Company may also be found on Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest.
