answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring that hard-working NHS staff do not find themselves reducing their work commitments due to the interaction between their pay, their pension, and the relevant tax regime.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS pension scheme is one of the most generous schemes available, and protects pensions in payment by increasing them by CPI and revalues accrued CARE benefits by CPI+1.5% each year.</p><p> </p><p>Pensions tax relief one of the most expensive reliefs in the personal tax system. In 2019/20 Income Tax relief on total contributions and National Insurance relief on employer contributions for pension savings cost the Exchequer £61 billion, with around 60 per cent of Income Tax relieved at the Higher and Additional rates. The annual allowance helps to ensure that the highest earning pension savers do not receive a disproportionate benefit.</p><p> </p><p>99 per cent of pension savers make annual contributions below £40,000, the level of standard annual allowance which has applied from 2014/15. Individuals who breach the annual allowance on tax-relieved pension savings can also use an option called ‘scheme pays’, under which they can require their pension scheme to pay their annual allowance tax charge now (in return for an actuarially fair reduction in their pension), provided that the annual allowance charge is at least £2,000 and they have exceeded the annual allowance of £40,000. In England and Wales, the NHS Pension Scheme goes further, allowing Scheme Pays to be used on any annual allowance charges relating to accrual in that scheme.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 28/06/2022 13:32:34 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
