Is HMRC looking to address the current criteria for this. it seems odd that you can have 2 adults (say mum and dad) earn anything upto 99.9k a year each and benefit from 20% discount but if one person is earning over 100k that and another person on minimum salary, then both not eligible?! Should income threshold be a consideration for the whole household?

In theory if you pay more into a pension it will bring your taxable income back down to under 100K so you’ll benefit from the 20% discount.Proud to have dealt with our debtsStarting debt 2005 £65.7K.

I understand that if I pay more into my pension this will bring my taxable income down, however that sort of defeats the object in that I was looking to get some tax reflect to help me out financially, putting more money into my pension doesn’t help me financially today.0

HMRC do not set the earnings limits.
These are set by ther Government and HMRC only put it into practice.
