Prior to April 2001 there were
strict employment conditions relating to allowable tax relief
on pension contributions since then there have been some attractive
changes!
The investor does not need to be in paid
employment to benefit from up to £792 tax credit on
annual/single contributions - dependent upon size
All UK citizens from the cradle up to
74 years of age now potentially qualify
Contributions may be paid by a third
party i.e. spouse, uncle, grandparent etc
Tax free cash of up to 25% of the fund
and residual pension may be taken at any time after age 50
