maximum contribution to AVC

[kildon]

Hi,

I pay 5% into a DC scheme and the company pays 10%, salary 45k, 29 yrs old, company is in private sector.

what is the max contribution I can make if any on top of the 5% I already pay into an AVC which I have yet to set up?

max additional contribution qualifying for tax relief = 10% (total contributions = 15%) when you hit 30 you can up the additional contributions to 15%. not sure if you can make further payments on top of this - if you can you will not get tax relief on them.
