    About the scheme

  • Tax relief

    You will receive tax relief on contributions up to 100% of your gross earnings that you pay towards your total pension provision in any one tax year.

    There is a limit on the amount of contributions you can pay into the Railways Pension Scheme in any one tax year. This limit is usually 15% of your gross pay, however your personnel office can confirm your exact figure.

    Your personnel office collect contributions for the scheme and for BRASS through your payroll before you are taxed. This way you get the tax relief immediately. See Quick Links - BRASS for further information

    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.
