As a business owner, you might be too caught up with the current hustle and bustle of everyday life to spend much time looking forward to your future.

No matter how busy life seems, now is the time to consider what your retirement plans are, and the positive difference that a personal or workplace pension could make to your future comfort and happiness.<\/p>\n

Employer contributions<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There is no limit on the number of schemes an employer can set up and no restriction on the amount they can contribute. Employer’s pension contributions are paid gross and are allowable as a business expense. Regardless of the amount, tax relief is available on pension contributions so long as it passes the test for being ‘wholly and exclusively’ for the purposes of trade, that is, an expense incurred while running the business or attracting more business. Tax relief on an employer’s contribution is usually given in the accounting period in which the contribution is paid, unless a loss is created.<\/p>\n
