    About the scheme

  • Tax Relief

    You can contribute 100% of your gross pay towards your railway pension provision in any one tax year (up to an annual maximum of £245,000 for 2009/10 tax year). These contributions are tax-free. Your personnel office collect contributions for the scheme through your payroll before you are taxed. This way you get the tax relief immediately.

    We have carefully chosen a company called Origen (which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority) to give Railways Pension Scheme members independent financial advice. See Quick Links - Origen to visit their website.
