If you want to understand a bit more about Shared Cost AVC schemes first, we’ve added some extra information for you below.

What is an AVC?

Short for Additional Voluntary Contribution, it’s another way to save money to give your retirement plans a boost, income tax free.

What’s a Shared Cost AVC?

It’s like a standard AVC, but you make additional savings. With a Shared Cost AVC scheme, contributions are processed through salary sacrifice through income tax and National Insurance savings. Put in £100, and if you’re a basic rate taxpayer, it could cost you just £72* from your pay thanks to the double tax break.
