There is no limit on the amount that may be contributed to a registered pension scheme. The maximum amount on which an individual can claim tax relief in any tax year is the greater of the individual's UK relevant earnings or £3,600.

If the Total Pension input exceeds the Annual Allowance of £245,000 there is a tax charge at 40% on the excess. This limit does not apply in the year that the full pension benefits are taken.

*subject to transactional protection for excess amount
