Tax charge on excess pension savings

It is possible to save as much as you want towards your pension but there is a limit on the value added to your pension fund that can receive tax relief each year. As this includes contributions made by your employer to both defined contributions and defined benefits schemes, it is important we understand what contributions are being made by your employer on your behalf as well as contributions being paid by you. If the limits are breached, a tax charge is due on the excess contributions. Please therefore confirm what pension provisions have been put in place with your employer and provide the latest annual statements and pension forecasts, showing both personal and employer contributions, in order that we can review the overall increase in pension savings for the year.
