in Personal Tax
Hi All,
Has anyone else struggled with this question;
Assessment 1, Task 8, part b
Ruby has total income of £105,000. She wants to pay into her private pension scheme so that she can protect her full personal allowance of £11,000. She therefore needs to pay at least ? into her pension.
The correct answer is £4,000.?
Many thanks,

She'll be paying into a private/personal pension scheme so the contribution will be grossed up from £4000 (80%) to £5000 (100%) when calculating adjusted net income for the personal allowance comp.
Adjusted net income = £105,000 - Gross pension contributions
= £105,000 - £5,000
= £100,000 thus losing no personal allowance.
Hope this helps.
If you have any queries about it or I haven't explained it very well let me know and I'll see if I can elaborate.0 -
That's great thank you, I knew it was something to do with the £5,000, but my answer was always more.
Thank you so much1
