Teacher pension scheme, higher rate tax & child benefit help!

Sonic_1980

Hi,

I am due a salary increase which will take my salary to £51k.
The teachers pension scheme means I pay 10.2% contribution before my income is taxed (£5100).
Does this mean my 'actual' salary will be £46k so I wont pay higher rate tax? Also does this mean our child benefit wont be affected?
Thanks!

If your payslip shows your taxable pay after the pension deduction then yes....and yes.

Well... other than 10.2% of £51000 being £5202... your basic premise is correct on both points.
So B- from me. :-)
remember to take into account any additional taxable income you have
and to deduct any charitable donations and permitted professional memberships.

Providing you don't have any other taxable income which takes you back above the £50k threshold
