Originally posted by ZARDOZ View PostThanks, I dont have a company pension set up (yet) but want to maximise tax efficiency in light of all the changes coming for contractors a pension makes more sense.
As I say check lifetime cap, and presumably annual cap will be £40k if you have no other scheme in place.
With the de-restriction of pensions over the last 18 months or so, they are, IMV, becoming a more attractive vehicle again now the pitfall of low annuity rates isn't overhanging.

Eg if your FY was 12 months to 31/5 and you extended it to 31/7 then 14 months profits are apportioned to two CT periods in ratio 12/14 and 2/14 and you will offset to CT in that 14 month period which, I think, is what you are trying to do.
Check your pension input period with your pension provider, and consider headroom against both annual and lifetime limits.

Originally posted by ZARDOZ View PostIf I extend my year end (from may15) can I make a pension contribution and offset it against 14-15 Corp Tax. Read elsewhere that this is allowable, provisionally ran past accountant. This year taking time out so will not be much profit.
Anyone done this?
Cheers
