Adjusted net income and bonus

[MolsIH]

Hi ladies
My hubbies adjusted net income is £99k as my husbands salary exceeds £100k and we stay below with pension contributions

he’s just found out he’s getting a £16k bonus… (not subject to pension contribution at work)

Do we need to pay £15k into a private pension pot to stay below the threshold for our 30free hours?

because we don’t get the full £16k as will be subject to a 40% tax???

We don’t have £15k to put into a private pension pot…?

I don’t know the answer but following!

My employer allows me to salary sacrifice to pension all bonus payments.

see if his will do the same?

I’ll ask!!! Thank you

Another fiscal drag policy. This one not updated for six years.

Like the child benefit policy which hasn't been updated in over a decade and probably never will until it ends up just another means tested benefit.

Sorry OP not what you asked.

Yes it’s gross and not net which is unfair I agree as you rightly say you won’t have that amount , but your husband will need to complete a tax return to ensure he receives the tax relief back.
