Investment in pension is the most tax efficient form of savings generally available to UK taxpayers. Pensions benefit from:
- Top slicing income tax relief on pension contributions. i.e. relief at the highest rate paid
- Largely tax free growth in fund
- 25% of the fund may be taken as tax free cash on retirement
The remaining 75% of the fund must be drawn as income for now but under the new “pension freedoms” that need not necessarily be the case…
Just compare the benefits of pension tax relief with say ISA’s after just one year. The effect is compounded over the longer term. Take independent financial advice.
