Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs) are a cost-efficient way for LGPS members to increase their retirement benefits. The scheme enables you to save money alongside your pension pot, which could help you retire early.
The main benefit of Shared Cost AVCs is that members will save Income Tax and National Insurance contributions on their Shared Cost AVC payments, meaning a £100 contribution will only cost a basic rate taxpayer £68.12.
Our partners My Money Matters are on hand to support your financial future in the best way possible. Join a webinar, use the financial health check, watch videos, use the retirement calculator, access the FAQs and make your application by registering on our Shared Cost AVC platform.
Please note this scheme is not open to Teachers or Elected Members due to Pension Scheme regulations.
Please note, the value of an investment can go down as well as up.
