3. Watch out for tax.

 

 
Make the most of what the Company is offering

Consider paying AVCs

If, after reviewing your plans and income needs after work, you want to boost your savings, you can do so through the Plan by making either regular or one-off (lump sum) additional contributions.

Visit MyPension to find out more. 

IMPORTANT: make sure you consider your Plan contributions in the context of your total retirement savings and know the applicable tax limits…

Watch out for tax

There are limits to how much you can tax-efficiently contribute (the Annual Allowance) and save in pension savings (the Lifetime Allowance). Read more about these limits and recent changes.

The Company can offer alternative options for those who exceed the current tax limits, so if you think you are affected, contact the Plan’s administrator to find out more.
