Salary sacrifice – or salary exchange – has been around for ages. But a proposal in last autumn’s Budget to cap the national insurance relief available on pension contributions has brought it into sharp focus.

We racked our brains but don’t think that we’ve ever explored the essentials of salary sacrifice for paraplanners so, while the Finance Bill is making its way through Parliament, we decided to invite Lucy Clark and James Jones-Tinsley from Barnett Waddingham to tell us what it's all about and what’s changing in future.

Lucy explains: 

• what salary exchange actually is
• the national insurance savings it can unlock – for employees and employers
• the different ways to structure it
• the things that can go wrong

James rounds off the 30-minute briefing by explaining the latest on the progress of the proposed cap, which is due to come into effect by 6 April 2029, and why its final form is far from settled – and may not even happen.
