A personal pension plan helps you save money for retirement and is available to any United Kingdom resident who is between the ages of 16 and 75 (Children under 16 cannot start a plan in their own right but a Legal Guardian can start one on their behalf). You, in conjunction with your adviser, choose the pension provider and make the arrangements for paying the contributions to the plan.
You can start a personal pension even if you have a workplace pension or if you’re self-employed and don’t have a workplace pension. You don’t have to be working to take out a Personal Pension Plan and you can also provide a Personal Pension Plan for your spouse/partner or your child/children.
When you contribute to a Personal Pension plan, your money is invested by the pension provider (usually an insurance company) to build up a fund/pension pot over a number of years.
If you’re a basic rate taxpayer, your pension provider will claim back Income Tax at the basic 20 per cent rate on your behalf on the contributions you make and add it to your pension pot. Higher-rate taxpayers claim the additional rebate through their tax returns.
The Annual allowance (AA) is the most you or your employer can save into your pension pots before you must pay tax. The current total is £60,000* or 100% of your income, whichever is lower as per tax year (6 April to 5 April). If you contribute more than that you will pay a tax charge.
Most schemes allow you to withdraw 25% of your fund tax-free from age 55 (57 from April 2028). Subsequent withdrawals are subject to income tax.
The size of your pension pot will depend on:
Although most personal pension schemes specify an age when you can start withdrawing benefits from your personal pension (usually between 60 and 65) you are allowed to do that from age 55 if you wish. You don’t have to stop work to draw benefits from your plan.
If you die before the age of 75 and haven’t purchased an annuity, your beneficiaries can inherit the entire pension fund as a lump sum or draw an income from it completely free of tax. If you’re over 75 years of age when you die, there will be a tax to pay on any withdrawals made by the recipient of your fund.
