TX lecture, Chapter 10, Example 1

AAdam3y ago
Hello, Please can you assist? I chapter 10, the first video goes through example 1. https://opentuition.com/acca/tx/chapter-10-pension-schemes-acca-taxation-tx-uk-lectures/ "Aston made the following gross amount of contributions into his pension scheme in earlier tax years: 2020/21 £62,000 2021/22 £30,000 2022/23 £25,000 Aston has an annual salary of £120,000. Compute the total pension input allowed for Aston for the 2022/23 tax year" The answer given is that the annual allowance in 2022/23 is £40k PLUS only £25k is used in 2022/23, therefore ADD (40k-25k) = £15k Is this an error or am I misunderstanding the rules? Why is the £40k annual allowance available for the same year seeminly twice? Many thanks. Adam

Hi I have looked at the example again and I can see what you mean. I think - and apologise - that it may be the years that are wrong in the question. You are right - and I'm sorry for the confusion. I have made a note to amend the question going forward.

Can you confirm what the correct answer should be in this lecture please? I thought it would be £50k being, £40K plus the unused £10 k from the previous tax year?

I think you're right and the answer has been rewritten for next year - £50k is correct.
