    B.

    £10,000

    C.

    £0

    D.

    £60,000

    How to approach this question

    Recall the pension annual allowance rules for 2023/24. The standard allowance is £60,000, and the minimum tapered allowance is £10,000.

    Full Answer

    B.£10,000✓ Correct
    For the tax year 2023/24, the standard pension annual allowance is £60,000. For individuals with an 'adjusted income' over £260,000, this allowance is reduced by £1 for every £2 of excess income. However, the maximum reduction is £50,000, leaving a minimum tapered annual allowance of £10,000.

    Common mistakes

    Using the older £4,000 minimum or the £40,000 standard allowance from previous tax years.
