Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How much can I contribute to my pension each year?

You can contribute up to £60,000 per year (as of 2024/25) or 100% of your earnings, whichever is lower, with tax relief available up to this limit. We can help you plan contributions to maximise tax efficiency.

Q2: How is my pension income taxed?

Pension income is subject to Income Tax, but the first 25% of your pension pot can be withdrawn tax-free. We provide strategies to minimise the tax on your retirement income.

Q3: Can pensions be passed on to my beneficiaries tax-free?

Yes, pensions can often be passed on without Inheritance Tax. However, other taxes may apply depending on your age at death. We provide advice on structuring your pension for tax-efficient inheritance.
