The Pensions Advisory¹ Service -- an independent organisation² funded by the pensions industry -- says three-quarters of women do not know what pension to expect from the state when they retire. According to HMRC, the latest number of tax returns still outstanding is a little under 3 million. If you miss the midnight deadline on January the 31st you'll be fined ￡100. This time thousands of people who don't normally have to send in a form will have to do so because of changes to the way that child benefit is paid.
