What Is a Personal Pension?
A personal pension is a tax-efficient savings scheme that allows you to invest up to £60,000 each year. You can invest up to 100% of your income up to the £60,000 limit, so if you earn £35,000, you can put it all into your pension.
Recent changes to pensions give greater freedom and flexibility to those with a personal pension. On reaching 55 years, you will be able to withdraw your entire pension in a lump sum or take an income over time.
Importantly, the age at which you can cash in your pension will rise to 57 in 2028. This will then track 10 years below the state pension age, which rises with life expectancy over time. It’s vital that you understand the age at which you will be able to access your pension when setting your retirement goal.
Why Invest in a Personal Pension?
A personal pension is a tax-efficient way to invest for your retirement. Like an ISA, you won’t pay income or capital gains tax on money held within your pension.
However, with a personal pension, you also get a tax top up from the government:
- If you’re a basic rate taxpayer, you get a 20% rebate – so for every £800 you invest, the actual amount invested is £1,000, as £200 of tax relief will be reclaimed from HMRC on your behalf.
- Higher rate taxpayers may be eligible to receive an extra 20% when you fill in your self-assessment return.
- Additional rate taxpayers may be eligible to receive an extra 25% when you fill in your self-assessment return.
At 55, you’ll, have a lot of freedom over how you can withdraw and spend your pension, starting with taking 25% as a tax-free lump sum. Some people then choose to buy an annuity, which provides a guaranteed income for the rest of your life. Others simply withdraw funds from their pension pot as they need them – this is called ‘drawdown’.
Our Personal Pension allows for both capped and flexible drawdown. This means you will be able to take out either an income with an upper annual limit or take an income with no annual cap.
Overall, a personal pension is an attractive, tax-efficient way to save for your retirement. You even get a tax top up from the government in exchange for locking your money away over the long-term. Thanks to the tax top up, personal pensions are especially tax-efficient if you are a higher rate or additional rate taxpayer while you work and become a basic rate taxpayer when you retire.
