Originally posted by rootsnall View PostIt was a struggle to get my accountant to pay a large lump sum earned in the current Ltd tax year once I wasn't earning any more. I would say no chance they'd go back into previous years, it would need the taxman to actually pay you a refund from previous years to make it worthwhile !? Or am I missing something. Quite possible.
You can then reclaim previously paid profits back from HMRC to cover that loss see Work out and claim relief from Corporation Tax trading losses - GOV.UKmerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Maybe it’s just me but I’m confused
Someone earning 10k as director can decide to stuff their pension with three years back pension of 40k a year? Is that what you are saying?
But the pension payment needs to be paid by the employer rather than the employee? What net effect does that distinction habe exactly and does it make a difference ?
I follow the corp tax refund of a loss made. No arguments thereComment

True but some people cannot sleep today knowing the fridge will be empty tomorrow so planning sometimes does help ..
I think more people will be looking at pension top ups to optimise tax from perm / FTC / inside salariesComment

My tax and NI bill comes to sums like 57p :-) It is taxable when it comes out of the SIPP but you'll have £12K tax free and you've avoided a double dose of NI.

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostIIRC some umbrellas will allow you to put most of your day rate into a pension as long as they adhere to minimum wage regulations. So they'll calculate something along the lines of 40 hours @ £8.72 to pay to you and the rest goes into your pension (that's my understanding, it's most likely more nuanced than that in practice). It may be possible to do the same from your Ltd Co but you ought to check with your accountant and IFA to make sure you remain within all the various rules.
I have also done the same with a Ltd in the past. Talk to your accountant. Should be routine.Comment
