Hi all - I'm on a £100-110k base + bonus at a tier 2 firm. This is in the region where personal allowance for tax starts eroding away..
Wondering what options I have to make this as tax efficient as possible (legally), considering a salary sacrifice pension and student loan.
Also what are you investment recommendations? Stocks and Share ISA? What are the good alternatives?

Does EYP pay below market rate for T2 then?

Debts inc. Student loans. Then Pension (get to total £1m by retirement, you can take 25% tax-free at 55), then max LISA, Lifetime Stocks & Shares ISA.

Once you’ve done these, it’s time to consider larger investments

Only valid for Plan 1 U.K. student loans. Plan 2 should pay as they can, to avoid RPI+ repayments and compounding debt interest

Or opioid fines, which can be in the billions

No harm in getting a few premium bonds as well in your mix - the ‘winnings’ are tax free.

If you need a new bike - salary sacrifice through cycle to work scheme.

There is an annual pension max contribution to be aware of (I think £40k/yr last time I checked)

Salary sacrifice pension

How many YOE out of interest?
