How to make the most of your pension
Article Abstract:
Those who wish to make additional voluntary contributions (AVCs) to their occupational pension scheme in order to ensure that they qualify for maximum scheme benefits must take a number of factors into account. It is important to establish how Inland Revenue rules will be applied to the calculation of maximum benefits. The maximum allowable contribution cannot exceed 15% of pensionable salary. It will also be necessary to choose between in-house or free-standing AVCs.

It is important to choose the most flexible plan you require without incurring additional costs or penalties.
