Salary sacrifice
Reduce gross salary in exchange for non-cash benefit (typically pension) — saves tax + NI.
Salary sacrifice reduces your gross salary in exchange for a non-cash benefit. Most common: pension contributions. Saves both income tax AND NI on the sacrificed amount — making it more tax-efficient than personal pension contributions for higher earners.
