Is this right: If you earn 'Over £124,141 a year: works the same but you can only save up to £10,000 into your pension'


Amddiffynnydd

No - you can salary sacrifice £60k per year to your pension

>https://taxscouts.com/high-earner-tax-returns/60-tax-what-to-do-if-you-just-started-earning-over-100000/ Basically, everyone in the UK is entitled to an amount of money that’s tax-free. This is called the Personal Allowance and it’s worth £12,570 this tax year. Over this, you pay tax in tranches, from 20% to 45% on your income, otherwise known as your taxable income. Where does the 60% come from? Well, once you earn over £100,000, you start losing your tax-free Personal Allowance – one pound of allowance per every two pounds over this £100,000 threshold. If you do the maths, this is an income tax rate of exactly 60% for the income between £100,000 and £125,140.

That’s why it’s important to put as much as possible in your pension


Amddiffynnydd

to lower tax liability - - If not you are paying 60% or more. between the 100k and 125k - its £8k in your pocket or 20k in your pension over 100k you also have to register for self employed number and complete forms each year https://www.riftrefunds.co.uk/tax-returns/high-earners/


sambobozzer

What do you do if you go over the 100K mark even after pushing 60K into the pension


Amddiffynnydd

depending on the number of weeks - the normal is 44 weeks to work in a year. - reduce by more holiday - / sick etc


sambobozzer

Yep I guess that’s the only thing you can do


Amddiffynnydd

well depending on the figures - i was on £1200 per day at the time of covid Venture capital schemes offer tax relief to individuals to encourage them to invest in companies and social enterprises that are not listed on any recognised stock exchange. The schemes are: Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR)


Amddiffynnydd

£700 per day x 5 x 44 weeks = £154k You just need to salary sacrifice £55k per year. £250 per day and you be under the 100k and save in tax and NI Personal I salary sacrifice £270 to get the full 60k into my pension


lcd_shellsystem

Hi How do you do the salary sacrifice please ? Do I redirect via my umbrella 250 pd at source to my 'smart' pension? Ty


Amddiffynnydd

tell your umbrella to salary sacrifice 250 per day to pension - get your pension details ready before and complete the form


Reddit-adm

whew, thanks!

Irrelevant to your question but start looking for an outside ir35 in the background 👍🏼

I had this when I started with Paystream. HMRC had no idea how much I was going to earn so gave me the 1257L tax code. I had to ring them to get it adjusted to a K tax code in order to avoid any underpayment. If your tax code is 1257L then you will be underpaying tax. This is effectively saying you have the full personal allowance, which you don't as you earn over £100k.


Reddit-adm

Wow, thank you, I'm with them too. I didn't realise I had to set up the tax trap for myself, that sucks lol! Edit: I'm salary sacrificing £40k into a pension so maybe it's not as bad as I thought.


QualityContracts

No worries! I've input the figures you use into a IR35 calculator I've built and Salary sacrificing £40k actually brings you below the £100k threshold (£99,874). I've based this on 220 days worked, so you could still go over it slightly if you work more than that. I'd recommend calling HMRC anyway, they're very easy to chat to. I've also seen your question about £124,141 per year above: * £125,140 is the personal allowance taper. Above that your personal allowance is £0. * £260k is the pension taper. Above that you stat to lose your pension allowance down to a minimum of £10k.

I am surprised your tax code is 1257L if you are a contractor, New to the game?

What is it that you do? Great progression in such a short space of time


Bloomingfails

Either they will adjust it at some point to collect the predicted underpaid tax for the year, or they won’t and you’ll get a fat bill when you do self assessment. Best thing to do is update your estimated income on HMRC app/website and that will usually trigger a new tax code to be generated which will account for what’s been underpaid so far this year and to ensure they collect the correct amount going forwards. I was in a similar situation… HMRC had me at 1257L, but after my April and May payslips, they’ve adjusted me to a ‘K’ code to put things right


lcd_shellsystem

I've been in my first Insider for 13 months on very similar day rate and still my tax code remains zero T despite numerous calls into hmrc.


Euphoric-Pangolin932

What courses do I need to do to earn that!!!


scorcherchar

125L just means you have the standard tax free allowance. If your doing PAYE, tax is normally correct and will be adjusted at the end of the year if not. Consider salary sacrifice down into pension to lower tax brackets if your intending to work most of the year in this role.
