Public Sector Pensions Vs Tax relief on Pensions of Top Earners

Additional Information

With all the discussion about Public Sector Pensions, there is continual focus upon 'fairness' to taxpayers.

The cost of all public sector pensions is around £4bn per year, while the tax relief afforded to the pensions of those earning more than £150000 per annum, the top 1% of earners, equates to £10bn.

We call upon the government to cut the tax relief on the pensions of those top earners, thus rendering the unaffordability argument for public sector pensions meaningless.
