The scheme was launched a year ago and there are already more than 600 employees who are benefiting. It’s one of the most effective ways to boost your pension benefits for retirement. You will make valuable Income Tax and National Insurance contribution savings on your Salary Sacrifice Shared Cost AVC payments and have the flexibility to choose and change your contribution amount as and when you need to – you can pay from as little as £2 per month.
Paying £50 per month will only cost a basic rate taxpayer £33.51. That’s an immediate saving of £16.49.
Visit the AVC Wise website where you can access a wealth of information about the scheme including an online calculator, frequently asked questions and explainer videos.
There are also webinars available which explain how you can benefit from the scheme. To book onto one of these webinars you will need to register for the AVC webinar and click on the ‘events’ tab where you can book on a number of generic webinars.
