Optimise your pension

Make tax-free contributions: Pension contributions from your limited company are classed as a business expense, so you won't pay any tax on these contributions.

Save between 19-25%: Business contributions are deductible from your corporation tax bill. If your business makes a profit below £50,000 you can save the small profits rate of 19%. Therefore £1,000 paid into your pension cuts your tax bill by £190.

Use your allowance: For most people, pension contributions are capped at £60k or their yearly salary, whichever is lower. As a limited company director, your business can contribute into your pension without the salary restriction.

Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

FAQs

My question isn’t here. See all FAQs ».

It is 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. We cannot accept defined benefit pension transfers. If you decide to close your Penfold account and the value of your pot has gone down, the amount returned to the provider may be less than what you originally transferred.

Please know that if your employer is paying into your pension currently, transferring that pot may mean you lose out on their contribution. For more information on the risks see here.
