Boost your retirement and enjoy instant tax savings

Are you looking to save on Income Tax and National Insurance?

If you're a member of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), you can utilise the Salary Sacrifice Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contributions (SSSC AVCs) scheme to receive immediate tax relief of up to 28% or 42% right in your monthly pay packet.

Running alongside your main pension, SSSC AVCs are a simple and effective way to enhance your retirement income, allowing you to top up your pension pot while benefiting from significant Income Tax and National Insurance savings.

The new scheme launches from Thursday 22 May 2025 – you will be able to access further information about making contributions on our Finance webpages from this date.   

Please note:
Tax relief percentages are based on Income Tax and National Insurance rates for the 25/26 tax year.
