    pension

    All, soon to be working through umbrella company (yeah I know it could be a mistake). Anyway, what is the score with pensions, how much can I chuck in there to lower my tax liability ? I know you can't get it straight away but would rather stash some for later than get totally shafted tax wise.

    You can stash pretty much as much as you like now. As of April this year the stupid rules have gone.

      Lifetime limit of ca. £1.5m IIRC.

        The best way is still to fund it from your won ltd though. That way you avoid CP on the contributions.

          DaveB is correct. A limited company paying the pension is more tax efficient than personal contributions.

          Also you can't get the money till aged 55 now. Was 50.
