Which Pension Contribution Type?

For a Defined Contribution Pension there are 2 ways in order to obtain tax relief.

  • Relief at source – this is where the pension is taken out of an individuals net pay, so they need to include it on a Self-Assessment Tax Return to obtain the additional relief
  • Net Pay arrangement – provides a deduction against Gross Pay, meaning that tax relief if given upon deduction.  This benefits higher rate taxpayer but if you are not a taxpayer at all you currently lose out.

It is important to understand, which method the provider operates under to see which fits best for your employees.



 
 

Which Pension Contribution Type?

Many employers provider their staff with benefits to help retain their staff and offer larger financial rewards, some of the most common benefits include:

  • Health and/or Dental care
  • Company Cars
  • Gym membership
  • Employee loans over £10k*
  • Living accommodation*

These benefits need to be reported to HMRC.  Traditionally these would be reported via completing a P11D’s & P11D(b), however now all benefits (* except these) can now be included via a process called payrolling.  To do this your business must be registered.
