Although participating in a Company Pension is not compulsory (yet! It does seem that's the way the governemnt is going), Company Pensions are increasingly common due to the UK Government drive to increase personal pension holdings.

Whilst this initiative has placed an increased financial pressure on employers, particulalry small businesses, it has facilitated a superb oppertunity for employees, assuming you can manage your day-to-day accounts without the monies contributed.

Company pensions are an excellent means of Tax Avoidance and also provide a higher overall salary package when you factor in employer contributions.

It's incredible how quickly the years pass but not as incredible as the sum of overpaid, unclaimed tax that sits within the treasury each year simply because individuals don't make the basic checks on their P60. It is wrong to assume that HMRC get your tax calculations right every year. Whilst electronic payslips (epayslips) have facilitated a more accurate and timely flow or financial information to and from HMRC mistakes are still made.
