Personal Pension

What is a Personal Pension?

A Personal Pension is a pension that is solely owned by you and held in your name. This type of pension is most suitable for someone who is self-employed or a professional worker, taxed under schedule D Case I or II, or in a job with no pension taxed under Schedule E. While you can contribute to your Personal Pension an employer cannot contribute.
