I have had an inside IR35 contract and paid the vast majority of that income into my pension plan because I received the income gross and it's my responsibility to deduct the right level of taxes. This won't be possible after the changes come in next year, since it's not my repsonsibility to do that any more.I'm not fat, I'm just fluffy.Comment

Originally posted by Paralytic View PostYou can (to some extent) if you go with an Umbrella that allows flexible salary sacrifice pensions payments. ie. you can put the full £40K (or more if you want to pay tax) into a pension each year. Granted many (most?) Umbrellas do not allow this, but a couple of the regulars who post on these boards do.Comment
