In question 94 of the BPP Kit, when calculating the employment income why is the contribution by the employee towards an occupational pension scheme deducted from the employment income? I mean it extends the rate bands but why are we deducting it from the employment income?

May 9, 2024 at 10:58 pm #705180Okay so the tax bands are extended by both contributions by an employee into the personal and occupational pension schemes? And when an employer does it for both personal and occupational pension schemes it is an exempt benefit? To be honest, pensions is the most confusing topic to me in the whole syllabus haha.

The employer contribution is an exempt benefitYes pensions are confusing but I have tried to make the notes as simple as possible. Practice the information with exam style questions if that helps
