Your pension pot value can go up or down, but staying invested can help it grow

Make tax-efficient pension contributions from your limited company

Make tax-free contributions: Director pension contributions made directly from the company are tax-free.

If you're not making limited company pension contributions, you're missing out on a valuable corporation tax reducing business expense.

Reduce your corporation tax: Company pension contributions can result in a 19–25% saving on your corporation tax bill.

If your business makes a profit below £50,000, you can save the small profits rate of 19%. So every £1,000 paid into your pension cuts your corporation tax bill by £190.

Use your pension allowance: Businesses can contribute to a limited company directors' pension directly, without the 60K tax-free limit. There's no salary restriction on employer/company contributions.

Pension contributions are usually capped at £60k or the equivalent of your yearly salary (whichever is lower). But as a limited company director, your business can contribute into your pension without the upper limit.

Got old pension pots? It's simple to combine your pensions. Just add your pension policy number and provider name, and our experts take care of your pension transfers.

Missing pension details? Use our Find My Pension service to find the provider and contact details. We just need the name of your previous employer to search for old pensions.

It's important to compare providers' fees and any guaranteed benefits when deciding on whether to transfer and be sure that the investments available are suitable for you. If your employer is paying into your pension currently, transferring that pot may mean you lose out on their contribution.
