    Hi there,

    In my recent tutorial slides, question Q3 Apr-18 is recommended as a practice question. Is this question still worth practicing since the current exams are now not UK specific?

    Many thanks

    Hi Dominic
    Some parts of this question rely on quite a lot of UK specific detail, some of which has been removed from the Core Reading. In particular, parts (i) and (ii) rely on some material that is no longer in the Core Reading and are not worth attempting.

    I reckon parts (iii) and (iv) are definitely worth doing though - part (iii) could be considered to be a test of knowledge of the tax concessions that a country might offer and the potential limits on these (content which is still in the Core Reading). And part (iv) gets you to consider how the presence of a State Pension and tax concessions might influence occupational pension scheme designs, which feels like a testable topic.

    I hope that helps
    Gresham

    Best regards
