Pension Tax Calculations

Pension portfolio is showing £99k with tax relief of £24k. Salary and other income is £243k

Didn't find your answer?

My calculations are 243k-2k (personal allowance)= 241k taxable income. So if pension tax relief is claimed basic rate will be £158k. My quesions how to use annual pensional allowance of 40k carry forward from last 3 years each? When tax relief is mentioned on pension document is it ok to increase basic tax rate Or need to check some thing else as well? Right i am getting tax credit of 20k in my calculations. This is personal single payment contribution in the year.

Have you considered the tapered annual allowance contribution limit?

Hmm i see so both adjusted and threshold incomes are higher so tapered allowance will be minimum 10k (243-150=93k )?
Thanks for pointing it out

You will need to calculate the annual allowance for the 3 prior years which may also be £10k if the income was similar. A charge will arise if the annual allowance was exceeded.

You also need to check the earnings each year since, if most of the income is dividends and a low salary, then the maximum gross pension contribution would be limited to the earnings (the salary).

Did they take advice before making the payment?

annual allowance covers the whole pension contributions

And what £2K personal allowance? (Or are you referring to the dividend NIL rate band, which is not a deduction from income).

Could be but with exact figures it could equally be Personal Allowance due to a much reduced ANI (in comparison to the taxable income).

This is reduced Personal Allowance calculated after considering 243k-124k(pension contribution +tax relief)-100k

Please would you confirm you have seen my earlier post, I believe there is a pension charge which is either paid through the tax return or the pension scheme.
