How can I make catch-up pension contributions?

Question

I have just discovered according to our funders that we are meant to be paying pensions. This backdates to Apr 06. The rate in the bid is 18% of the salary. The questions are: - two of those no longer work for the CCP, can we pay them directly or can we only pay into pension fund. any advice? Paul, Crook Partnership


Answer

It is important that you make good on the commitment to your funder and to your employees by paying the monies over as soon as possible.

Personal Pension schemes will receive back-dated payments this can be arranged by contacting the individvual personal pension scheme providers. If the individuals concerned do not have personal schemes then I suggest that they take out a simple Stakeholder or personal pension scheme.
