£100k childcare hours - payslip pension

[PeppyAquaFinch]

Hi

DH salary is likely to exceed £100k next tax year and we want to preserve our right to childcare hours.

He can increase the % of pension contributions on his payslip but we are not sure if these contributions count towards the ‘adjusted net income’ calc for the £100k threshold. The payslip pension contributions don’t seem to attract extra tax relief as his gross pay and gross taxable pay on his payslip are the same amounts.

Can anyone confirm this please? Or give advice on how to check this?

Otherwise we will make a direct personal contribution instead.

TIA!

Is his pension salary sacrifice? If so they will reduce the gross pay/gross taxable pay.

Just a few other options to get pay below the threshold - can he buy holiday or take a bit of unpaid leave? Or cycle to work scheme or electric vehicle salary sacrifice?

Hi,

Trying to find an answer to my question- similar to yours. Did you manage to get around this. We're in a similar situation and desperate to try and get something with nursery fees going up again.

TIA x
