Annual Allowance

Your annual allowance may be reduced if you’ve already taken taxable money from your pension pot (known as the money purchase annual allowance) or have income of £200,000 or more from 6 April 2020 (known as the tapered annual allowance). It may also be possible to contribute more than your annual allowance and still benefit from the tax relief by using unused allowance from up to the three previous tax years (known as carry forward).
