Personal pension contributions and the Annual Allowance Excess Charge

As we approach the end of the 2021/22 tax year, you should review your pension contributions made since 6 April 2021 and consider whether or not you should make a further one-off personal pension contribution before 5 April 2022 to save tax and to utilise any carried-forward relief from 2018/19 which will be lost if not used by then.
