Show Notes
According to government data, over 4.1 million people now work for themselves. However, statistics suggest that less than a quarter of self-employed people are actively saving towards their retirement.
We explore what you need to know when it comes to your self-employed pension, with the help of:
- Founder of Enterprise Nation; Emma Jones CBE
- PensionBee's Head of Product; Martin Parzonka
*In case it wasn't clear enough on the podcast, we'd like to clarify that tax-relievable personal contributions are limited to the lower of personal earnings and the annual allowance (£40k). Employer contributions, such as those made from your limited company, may be more than your earnings but are limited by the annual allowance (£40k).
