  • So are you saying that I should stop my AVC and pay into a PPP aswell as my company scheme ?

    No , (although there may be reasons to do so). What I'm saying is paying the full cost yourself of a benefit fom a defined benefit scheme be it as in your case and as it is with buying added years is not worth it imo compared to going the money puchase route.

    "If I paid the extra into the company scheme instead of the AVC as previously mentioned I'd also save on NI contributions rather than just tax as currently wouldn't I ?"

    Yes, you'd pick up another 50p a week. and no, I aint doing the sums again to account for that pittance :P
