Hope you’re doing well.
I have a few doubts in this chapter.
1. The occupational pension that we deduct directly from our employment income is the employee’s contribution only or is it both employee plus the employer’s?
2. Total pension inputs (TPI) include employer’s contribution too (both personal and occupational). In Illustration 3, the question talks about personal pension contributions. So can a question come up that also includes employer’s contribution towards occupational pension therefore making it’s way into the addition of more tax liability?
3. How is the exempt benefit accounted for under employment income?
It’s mentioned that we have to put a zero if it comes up in a question but if the TPI exceeds annual allowance, then we have to pay the charge. So how is it accounted for under the benefit under employment income?Thank you.
4. The ANI that we calculate normally, ie,
Net income + gross gift aid donation + gross personal pension contribution = ANI
Does the personal personal contribution also include employer’s contribution or is it just the employee’s contribution towards the personal pension scheme?
Thank you.

EMPLOYEE’S CONTRIBUTION ONLY.

YES.

It’s mentioned that we have to put a zero if it comes up in a question but if the TPI exceeds annual allowance, then we have to pay the charge. So how is it accounted for under the benefit under employment income?IT’S AN EXEMPT BENEFIT SO THE AMOUNT TO INCLUDE IN THE CALCULATION OF EMPLOYMENT INCOME IS ZERO.
IN THE CALCULATION OF TPI YOU WOULD INCLUDE THE AMOUNT PAID BY THE EMPLOYER.
Net income + gross gift aid donation + gross personal pension contribution = ANI
THIS IS NOT CORRECT.
ANI = Net income LESS gross gift aid LESS gross PPCs
Does the personal personal contribution also include employer’s contribution or is it just the employee’s contribution towards the personal pension scheme?
JUST THE EMPLOYEE’S GROSS PPCs.
THE ONLY TIME THE EMPLOYER’S CONTRIBUTION TO ANY SCHEME HAS A MONETARY EFFECT IS IN THE CALCULATION OF TPI.
Oh thank you so so much.
I was all tangled up in what goes where. And because of these small confusions I could pick up the wrong answers.
Also I wanted to ask about PAYE.
Does PAYE include occupational pension contributions as well as NIC?No. PAYE accounts for tax and NIC and is paid to HMRC.
Pension contributions are paid into a pension scheme.Okay.
So they’re (occupational pension) deductible against employment income separately and then PAYE (income tax and NIC) are then deducted after that.
I got it now.
Thank you once again. I might have more doubts coming before the exam. And I apologize that I’m asking so many questions.
