flag UK will tax pension contributions over £2,000 in salary sacrifice schemes starting April 2029.

flag A UK government rule change set for April 2029 will end the national insurance exemption for pension contributions above £2,000 annually in salary sacrifice schemes, making them subject to NI like regular pay. flag Research by Pensions UK, based on a survey of over 1,500 non-retired workers, found that 28% plan to increase contributions before the change, 11% expect to reduce them afterward, and many remain unaware. flag Around 7.7 million employees use salary sacrifice, with 3.3 million contributing more than £2,000 yearly. flag Critics warn the shift could discourage saving, reduce employer contributions, and harm long-term retirement outcomes, urging clearer, stable policies to maintain trust in the system.
