Pensions are among the most tax-efficient and effective ways for contractors to manage their savings and plan for their financial future.
With the end of the 2024/25 financial tax year fast approaching, contractors are urged to review their pension strategies to maximise available allowances. Champion, a leading umbrella payroll company in the UK, is dedicated to ensuring contractors can make informed decisions to secure a financially stable future.
How Can Contractors Make the Most of Their Pensions?
Standard Annual Allowance
As with all workers, contractors are entitled to the Standard Annual Allowance of up to £60,000. This Allowance lets individuals contribute up to £60,000 each year to their pension scheme, which has the potential to reduce tax liabilities while significantly boosting retirement savings.
Carry-forward Unused Allowances
Additionally, if you have not fully utilised your allowance in previous years, you may be eligible to carry forward unused allowances from the past three years. The option to carry forward unused allowances can prove invaluable for contractors who experience fluctuating and irregular incomes.
Salary Sacrifice Pension Contributions
Another attractive option is using salary sacrifice pension contributions. By opting for a salary sacrifice arrangement, contractors can reduce their taxable income while increasing the amount allocated to their pension fund. This approach provides immediate tax relief and enhances long-term savings potential, making it ideal for contractors on temporary assignments.
