If your tax liability exceeds £2k you could use 'scheme pays' to extract the tax charge from the pension. In that case you can still end up with a worse outcome than had you not made the over-contribution, but not as bad as the double-tax case otherwise.0 -
if you have a pension plan for eg say 10 yrs
then you can carry forward from the last 10 yrs ??
yes you can only go back 3 yrs to see what you did not use and add to this years BUT
If you have only put a token £1000 in a pension for the last ten yrs surely you have loads to carry over
in 2010 you would be carrying over from the previous 3 yrs and do the same the next up to now you would build up a large amount ? the figure of 40 k allowance was much higher in the last 10 yrs
yes or no0 -

No because your allowance over the last 3 years doesn't increase by adding in what you could have paid in previous years to those. It's locked at £40k max for each year. You can't say (for example) ah I have £40k from 2013 plus £39k from 2012 making £79k. You are locked at £40k.0
