IT Contractor tax saving question

IT Contractor tax saving question

Didn't find your answer?

Assistance required please.

An IT contractor has asked me a question that I am not familiar with.

He asked whether he could "put funds in a bond to save 5%"

I presume the 5% relates to a tax saving?

Your thoughts would be appreciated please

Thanks

My thoughts are

That the question is so vague that any answer is meaningless. Maybe he should speak to his accountant ?

5% withdrawal
Per year on qualifying chargeable event gains is probably what this refers to. Certain bonds can lead to a 5% income tax free annual withdrawal with additional tax charges if you exceed the limits.

IFA

Why don't you tell him to go speak to an IFA to get the investment advice he needs?
