How this actually works

A SSAS pension turns your Corporation Tax into your retirement

Three things happen when you contribute to a SSAS - each one builds on the last.

1

Your company contributes pre-tax

A £50,000 employer contribution to a SSAS typically saves your company £12,500–£13,250 in Corporation Tax in the year it is paid. The full amount goes into your pension; the saving stays with the business.

2

Your pension grows tax-free

Money inside the SSAS grows free of income tax and capital gains tax. Trustees can hold commercial property, lend to your business, or invest as you and your fellow trustees decide.

3

You can lend it back to the business

Up to 50% of your fund can be lent back to your company at HMRC-approved rates (currently base rate + 1%). Your pension earns the interest; your company gets working capital.

TLPI sets up the scheme, registers it with HMRC, and handles the ongoing trustee work. No setup cost. No hidden fees.
