Termination payments and benefits: Section 401 ITEPA 2003: contributions to a pension scheme

Termination payments and benefits: Section 401 ITEPA 2003: contributions to a pension scheme

Just spotted this link in the Times in an advice column by solicitors Russell Jones & Walker.

This is for anyone who plans on putting part of a redundancy payment towards their work pension.

Russell Jones & Walker state it is CRUCIAL that any money that is paid into the scheme goes directly from the employer to the pension scheme in order to ensure that the payment is tax-free. Provided the payment is made directly from the employer then it is tax-free as long as limits on pension contributions are not exceeded.
