Experts are urging workers to take advantage of pension tax relief as an \u201ceye-watering\u201d amount in savings is being made.<\/p>\n

Last year, pension tax relief saved Britons around \u00a325.4billion, a rise from \u00a35.5billion over the last five years.<\/p>\n

For the 2023-24 tax year, this figure is forecast to reach \u00a327.7billion following changes to the annual allowance and the abolition of the lifetime allowance.<\/p>\n

Tax relief on National Insurance contributions to registered pension schemes saved workers \u00a325.9billion in 2022\/23 which is a rise of \u00a38.6billion increase over the last half a decade.<\/p>\n

Employees are being reminded they can save money from their paychecks by using this relief.<\/p>\n

Pension tax relief comes in one of two forms which is either \u201crelief at the source\u201d or through net pay.<\/p>\n

The former is when employers take away tax from someone\u2019s salary and then deduct their pension contribution from after-tax pay, which is sent to their pension provider.<\/p>\n

In comparison, net pay is taken before someone is taxed so they end up paying less to HMRC and get the relief immediately.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that pension providers claim the basic 20 percent rate of tax relief from the government before putting it into their pension and those with a higher or additional rate taxpayer, will have to get extra tax relief from HMRC.<\/p>\n

Helen Morrissey, head of retirement analysis at Hargreaves Lansdown, broke down why tax relief figures have skyrocketed as of late.<\/p>\n

She explained: \u201cThe amount pensions save us in tax continues to soar, hitting an eye-watering \u00a351.3billion in 2022-23 – up more than \u00a314billion over the past five years.<\/p>\n

\u201cMuch of this is down to the success of auto-enrolment which has brought over 10m people into pensions, as well as wage growth pushing up pension contributions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese figures throw into sharp relief the enormous impact tax reliefs can have on how much people end up with in retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n
