How tax relief works
If our records indicate that you're eligible for tax relief, we'll claim basic rate tax
relief on your behalf and add it directly to your Nest pot. We'll work out how much
to claim for you based on the information provided to us by HM Revenue & Customs
(HMRC) and your eligible contributions.
HMRC will let us know what rate of tax relief to claim for you each year. For
example, HMRC will tell us that we should use the Scottish basic rate if they've
identified you as a Scottish taxpayer for the tax year.
You can check the tax information we hold for you in the current tax year, including
your tax relief eligibility, by logging into the nestpensions.org.uk website. Go to Edit
profile then click on Edit personal details. If you have any queries regarding your tax
details, please contact HMRC.
If you pay a higher rate of income tax on any of your earnings, you can claim
additional tax relief from HMRC. You'll need to contact HMRC to claim any additional
relief you are entitled to. For more information, please visit
hmrc.gov.uk/individuals.
Based on your fund choice, we manage your money differently depending on how close you
are to your retirement date. So it's important to check you're happy with this date. If you'd
like to change it you just need to tell us and we'll change your investments accordingly. You
can change your Nest retirement date at any time by going to the nestpensions.org.uk
website. Go to Edit profile then click on Edit personal details.
It's especially important if you've less than 15 years to go because we'll make different
decisions about managing your money which could affect what you get in the end.
To read about Nest Retirement Date Funds and the other funds we offer go to
www.nestpensions.org.uk/nestretirementdatefunds.
Each year there is a limit on the amount of money you can contribute to your pension pot and
still receive tax relief. This is called the Annual Allowance. You can check the limit at
gov.uk/tax-on-your-private-pension/annual-allowance. If you are planning to access a
retirement pot, or have already accessed a retirement pot and wish to continue making
2
pension contributions, this amount may be reduced to a lower allowance. This lower
allowance is called the Money Purchase Annual Allowance (MPAA).
For the current tax year the Money Purchase Annual Allowance is £4,000. This means that if
your contributions exceed the Money Purchase Annual Allowance you will be liable for
additional tax on those contributions. You can find further information at gov.uk/tax-on-your-
private-pension/annual-allowance.
Tax returns
Details in this statement are based on the pension scheme year rather than the tax year. The
statement also doesn't include any pending contributions at the end of the scheme year. We
strongly recommend you don't use this statement to complete your tax return.
If you'd like to see all of your contributions for a particular tax year, simply log in and search
in the 'Contributions' section of your account.
Scams can take many forms and often appear to be a legitimate investment
opportunity. The regulators recommend consumers can take the following simple steps
to protect themselves from pension scams:
· Reject unexpected pension offers, whether they're made online, on social media or
over the phone. If you get a cold call about your pension, the safest thing to do is
to hang up - it's illegal and probably a scam. Report pension cold calls to the
Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
· Check who you're dealing with before changing your pension arrangements to make
sure that anyone offering you advice or other financial services is FCA authorised –
check the FCA Register fca.org.uk/scamsmart/how-avoid-pension-scams or call
the FCA helpline on 0800 111 6768
· Don't be rushed or pressured into making any decision about your pension
· Consider getting impartial information and/or advice
· Visit the FCA scam smart website at fca.org.uk/scamsmart/how-avoid-pension-
scams
· If you are a victim of a scam you should report it online www.actionfraud.police.uk
to Action Fraud or call 0300 123 2040
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has provided useful information on how to avoid
3
pension scams which you'll find at fca.org.uk/scamsmart/how-avoid-pension-scams.
It's sensible to get independent financial advice on any offer you may have had to transfer
your retirement pot or check with MoneyHelper that it's legitimate. You can do this at 0800
678 1648.
It's important that you keep us up to date with who your beneficiaries are. To do this, log into
nestpensions.org.uk website. Go to Edit profile then click on Manage your beneficiaries or call
us on 0300 020 0090.
You can log into your account on the nestpensions.org.uk website. Then click on 'Retirement
pot' at any time to see how much your retirement pot is worth and what contributions have
been made.

This section shows the value of your retirement pot. This is made up of all the contributions made after charges and is
affected by the value of investments.
It also shows what fund your money was in on the date of this statement.
We have not received any contributions into your retirement pot for the scheme year.
We charge you a small amount each year to cover the costs of managing your money. This charge is listed below.
The amount shown isn't the total charge taken from your pot during the year, it's an illustration based on the level of
your pot as at 31 March. The total AMC could be higher or lower than this based on the value of your retirement pot

Your annual statement
Illustrative Nest annual management charge from 01 April 2021 to 31 March 2022: £15.95
The charges shown above cover the administration of your pension pot and any management fees associated with investing
your money. There are also costs for buying and selling different investments at different times, known as transaction
costs. We don't charge you for these separately but include the cost within the overall investment returns you receive.
You can find out more about how all our charges work on our website at nestpensions.org.uk/nestcharges. You can also
find out the most recent annual transaction costs of the fund you're in. Transaction costs can change daily, but we provide
examples of how these and the overall charges might impact your pot.
We invest your money carefully according to our investment strategy and policies. For more information, read our
statement of investment principles (SIP), the SIP implementation report, our Task Force on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures Report and the scheme annual report and accounts at nestpensions.org.uk/library.
If you require information on our charges in a paper version, we can provide this on request. Details on how to contact us
are in the further information section below.

If you require information in a paper version, we can provide this on request. Details on how to contact us are in the
further information section below.
We've used information from your account and made some assumptions to show you what your retirement income
could be when you take your money out of Nest.
This is just an estimate. Your actual retirement income might be more or less than the values we've estimated. All the
figures shown here are in today's money.
To find out more about the assumptions we've used to create this estimate please see the end of this statement.
These figures are based on the current value of your retirement pot. We've assumed that no more contributions will be
paid into your retirement pot until your Nest retirement date. You can start to contribute again whenever you want.
Estimated value of your retirement pot on your Nest retirement date: £11,600.00
Your retirement income each year could be: £280.00

Your annual statement
You can take some of your retirement pot as a tax-free cash lump sum.
The maximum you can take is 25 per cent of the retirement pot value
which is: £2,910.00
If you took the maximum cash lump sum above, your retirement income
each year could then be: £210.00
Remember you can change your Nest retirement date if you want to. If you choose a later retirement date, we can grow
your pot for longer. This means you could have a bigger pot when you eventually decide to retire. Log in to the
nestpensions.org.uk website. Go to Edit profile then click on Edit personal details.
You haven't told us who you want your beneficiaries to be. It's easy to let us know who you want to
receive your retirement pot, if you die before taking it. You can do this online by logging into
nestpensions.org.uk website. Go to Edit profile then click on Manage your beneficiaries. Alternatively you can
contact us to request a form.
If you die before taking your money out of Nest, the value of your pot will usually form part of your estate for inheritance
tax purposes. Inheritance tax is a tax on the estate (the property, money and possessions) of someone who's died.
If you're concerned about inheritance tax you can ask us to use our discretion to decide who to pay your retirement pot to.
This is called making an expression of wish. If you choose to do this, your retirement pot usually won't be treated as part
of your estate for inheritance tax purposes. For more information please log into nestpensions.org.uk website. Go to Edit
profile then click on Manage your beneficiaries. If you're not sure, it's a good idea to seek professional advice before
making any changes.
For more information on inheritance tax please visit hmrc.gov.uk/individuals and click 'inheritance tax'.

Your annual statement
All values are calculated in terms of today's money. This helps to give you an idea of how much
you'd be able to buy with the estimated value of your retirement pot and possible retirement
income shown in your statement, if you got the money today.
We've made certain general assumptions to estimate the amount you might get when you take your
money out of Nest.
The amount of retirement income you'll receive depends on a lot of things, so you shouldn't make
decisions about your pension arrangements based on this illustration only. Future investment
growth, inflation, interest rates and the cost and type of retirement income you buy at the time
you retire can all affect how much you'll actually get. All of these things may be different from the
assumptions we've made here.
The projected value of your retirement pot may not include the final contribution paid before you
take your money out of Nest. This is because of the assumptions we make about the timing of
contributions. Different employers will pay on different dates, so in some cases, the value shown in
your statement may not include the very last payment.

Major events such as the conflict in Ukraine or the Covid-19 pandemic can cause temporary falls in
the markets your money is invested in. Although this can feel worrying, our approach is designed to
cope with events like these. We hold most members' pension pots for decades. This means we work
to grow your money over the long term and in a range of market conditions.
