  • OP may have more money to invest, but he didn't ask about that, and we're not touting for business on this site, are we? :)

    a pension is likely the best way to avoid 60% tax on this £5k (if deferring it to another year isn't going to work). no need to over-complicate.
  • it's a good point that you don't want just to defer the problem to next year. the OP will have a better idea than the rest of us how likely he is to be over £100k again next year.

    but it's a bit strange to suggest going to a wealth manager to discuss £5k.

    Have to agree completely - especially as the op states clearly that the current situation is a 'one-off' and 'shall not happen again'.
