The preferred solution for your customers?

The Finance Act 2022 amendments changed the way PRSA are managed. This means that PRSAs are now a viable alternative for clients who might previously have been best served by an Executive Pension. You can find a full comparison of occupational pension schemes and PRSAs in this table. Another reason PRSAs may be preferable in many cases, is clients being able to preserve the standalone nature of the plan, while you maintain a direct, one-to-one relationship with them.

Finance Bill 2022

The Finance Act 2022 amendments have made the PRSA a comparable alternative to an Executive Pension. Some reasons to choose a PRSA include:

  • Improved funding limits* for employees and company directors, and all employer contributions receive tax relief in the year they are paid
  • Where an employee dies in service, the full PRSA fund is paid to their estate
  • PRSA holders can drawdown their retirement benefits in stages, up to age 75, using multiple PRSAs

*subject to Standard Fund Threshold
