Originally posted by ASB View PostI probably didn't phrase it too well. Yes, I agree that contributions for prior years can be made (and relieved) due to the existence of the scheme from the previous company.
But I was just musing as the whether that scheme would actually accept them.

The OP appears to want to make (backdated) employer contributions. They do not appear to have a scheme other than the previous one they are in the process of transferring.
It seems to be dependant upon that scheme being prepared to accept employer contributions from the current employer (i.e. op's ltd). That may not be the case if they are already transferring or the scheme was set up by their previous employer.

2 Yes, as you have a scheme that was already established then, another 2 x £40k.
3 You need to take advice from your accountant, you may have a trading loss this year. They will advise about Corp Tax.
HTH.

Advice please - backdating pension contributions
Hi folks. I'm a newbie to this site. I've read through some previous posts but found them difficult to compare to my own situation.
I've been operating my own limited company for exactly 2 years now. In that time I've taken a salary of c£10,600 for the second year and a dividend of c£23,000. I only took a dividend of c£22,000 in the first year with no salary.
This year 2016-17 I will be taking a salary of £8,100 and then a dividend.
The main point - I have a previous company pension scheme that has been operating for the past 7 years. I'm now transferring it to my own limited company to begin making monthly contributions. I want to backdate payments to increase my pension pot, release some money from my company and also reduce my tax bill.
I have an accountant but they cannot give pension advice. Hence the following questions to the forum:
1. What is the maximum I can pay in to my pension this year if my salary is £8,100?
2. Can I backdate pension contributions for the previous two years? If so, how much can I pay into my pension?
3. If I can backdate payments, will it have any impact on corporation tax this year or over the previous two years? Can I claim back any CT already paid?
Many MANY thanks for any advice you can give.
