Yeah, will 2017 be the year they fundamentally change pensions? Probably not, with all the other stuff going on.
But they want to be seen to be penalising high earners, I can see a reduction in annual limit for pensions from 40k to say 30k. I think the lifetime allowance is too low already and has already been culled enough. As for the change to pension tax relief to a single rate, I don't think this is the time for a complex change....especially as it will cause a payroll nightmare if they change the basis of pension tax relief.
HMRC's system at the moment can't keep up with the tax code, I'm underpaying tax this year as their software hasn't been coded correctly. Let's see if they ever correct it and try and collect.
As for my wish list. Keep ISA allowances, keep the promised cut in corporation tax, keep income tax the same. Not too much to ask?
I can cope with the pension lifetime allowance reducing, and the annual limit reducing
