Building up a pension

Article Abstract:

A pension scheme or plan is an extremely tax-efficient way to make long-term savings. The UK Inland Revenue grants tax relief at the individual's highest rate on pension contributions, and the pension fund accumulates tax-free. It is possible to contribute either to an employer's pension scheme or to a personal pension plan. The individual may claim tax relief on at least 17.5% of net relevant earnings, and it is also possible to boost current payments to a personal pension by using unused tax relief from earlier years.

Building up a pension

Article Abstract:

A pension scheme or plan can offer a very tax-efficient method of long-term saving. Pension contributions are eligible for tax relief at the individual's highest rate, and part of the savings can be taken as a tax-free lump sum. The main types of pension scheme are those run by an employer or a personal plan. It is not usually possible to contribute to both at the same time.
