UK Pension Contribution Guidance

​

Please review this information thoroughly, especially if you've made or intend to make substantial pension contributions.

​

UK residents under 75 can contribute to a personal pension with tax relief, but there are vital considerations to bear in mind:

​

1. Relevant UK earnings: Ensure personal and employee contributions in a tax year don't exceed total earnings or £3,600 if higher.

2. Annual allowance: Total pension contributions (including from an employer) are capped at £60,000 gross annually. Defined benefit pensions' value counts toward this limit. High-income individuals might face a lower allowance based on 'Adjusted Income'.

3. Carry forward: Unused annual allowances from previous tax years may allow contributions beyond the annual cap.

4. Money purchase annual allowance (£10,000 gross): Applicable if you've taken flexible pension benefits after 5 April 2015. This limit concerns money purchase contributions and doesn't allow carry forward.

5. Lifetime allowance: Although the lifetime allowance tax charge was removed from April 6, 2023, an upper limit still applies. As of April 6, 2024, this limit is slated for removal. It considers all pension accumulations and sets constraints on tax-free amounts. Protection may limit your tax-free cash to 25% or £268,275 unless specifically protected.

6. Enhanced or fixed protection: Pre-existing enhanced or fixed protection against the lifetime allowance remains intact for contributions made after April 5, 2023.

7. Recycling caution: Consider avoiding a significant spike in contributions before or after taking tax-free cash from a pension to prevent potential punitive tax charges labeled as "recycling."
