** Please note this run is made by default, but you can opt out if you wish to. We will contact you close to the end of the financial year to see if you would prefer not to have this additional payment made to your provider before the end of the financial year.
📊 The Deduction Period for SIPPs (typically between 6th of the month and the 5th of the following month) means the payroll dates when deductions were made, and not your timesheet dates or the dates your net salary was paid into your bank account. You can view your payroll dates on your payslips under Pay Date.
📈 For example, if your timesheet for month ending 31/08/2024 was paid on 09/09/2024, this falls into the deduction period from 06/09/2024 to 05/10/2024. This means any deducted pension in this time-frame would be paid to your pension provider on 20/10/2024.
⏰ End of Tax Year - Additional Payment
At the end of each tax year, we make an additional payment to your pension provider on the 4th of April. This is based on feedback from our contractors to top up their pension pot before the end of the financial year.
This payment will be made up of any pension funds we have retained between the 6th March and 28th March.
Anything retained from income between 31st March and 4th April will be paid to your provider on the 20th April, as per the usual SIPP schedule outlined above.
If you would rather we did not make this additional payment, you can let us know via the form below. Please ensure you complete this by 1st April.
If you have any questions please contact our dedicated pensions team and they will be able to assist: pensions@nasagroup.co.uk.
