Welcome to the WTW Annual Allowance and Other Pension Taxes Survey 2025. This year's survey provides a comprehensive overview of the emerging trends in employer pension policy for high earners. We focus on alternative benefits that employers choose to offer, eligibility criteria, death in service benefits, and the support available to employees.
In the last few years, we have seen changes to the Annual Allowance (AA) rules and the abolition of the Lifetime Allowance (LTA) from April 2024. Further changes are on the horizon with the introduction of inheritance tax on pension death benefits from April 2027.
Our findings help us understand how employers are adapting their approach to pension policy and support for employees that are affected by the changes.
