By all means mail me over the details, but we can't possibly enact a payment from your company into your pension. If that was what you wanted to do you would have needed to have done that prior to your year end on advice from your IFA

Am I right in thinking that Tom would have advised something along the lines of "Yes, you would save tax if you put the funds into a pension, but you would need to seek the advice of your IFA to make sure this is the right thing in your particular circumstances" ?
Also, if we did the Company closure for you I'm guessing that we've put in place the mechanism for you to claim a capital distribution and claim entrepreneurs relief, meaning the tax rate on the final distribution would have been less than 10%?
It is not, and never has been our remit to advise on pension strategy - the tax implications are only one part of it - it is a much more involved decision than that.P.S. What Spreadsheet? Revolutionising the contracting market again.Comment

If you asked a question and didn't receive a prompt reply, I'd suggest the thing to have done would be to send a reminder. Not wait 9 months until it's too late and then complain on a public forum.Comment
