I am contracting and have Trafalgar as my umbrella atm.

I am on there basic package so 8% standard pension atm.

To go into salary sacrifice they need me to upgrade to the gold package which would be £40 a month extra margin.

My question is what would the minimum need to be sacrificing to make this cost worth it and tax efficient.

My day rate is £239 and cant look to move companies as of yet as due mortgage renewal next year.

TIA

I wonder how much the process of trying to recover this has cost; FTT, UT, Appeal and Supreme Court time and representation costs will I suspect have been chunky. Only for FTT v2 to reach the same conclusion as FTT v1 albeit with additional clarifications.

While the FTT v2 judgement is superbly reasoned and clear, I can't help but wonder whether this whole process really provides tax-payer value for money.

I do hope that PGMOL is able to recover costs.]]> Accounting / Legal Protagoras https://forums.contractoruk.com/accounting-legal/151204-pgmol-ftt-v2-a.html
