Pensions for the Self Employed (25 second read)
Extracting wealth tax effectively from your business just got easier. Click here to read more about recent significant changes to pension legislation and contact us if you would like to discuss further.
If you have established a successful business which is profitable, then you pay tax on the annual profits. One of the very few remaining ways for you to shelter tax is by contributing to a pension, however few business owners use pension legislation to maximum effect. Most have scope to do additional tax planning. With marginal tax rates so high, extracting wealth from your business tax effectively is key to building personal wealth.
As a sole trader or partner you will be eligible to take out either a Personal Pension or a PRSA. We can explain the difference between these two products and guide you in your choice.
We have agencies with all the main providers. Very often you will obtain a better product through us, than you would have access to through your Bank or tied agent.
As Specialist Investment Advisers we place huge importance on the investment of your funds. You need to have a plan for what you are going to do if the market continues increasing, and what you are going to do if there is a period of market weakness. Both scenarios are likely to feature so you should have a strategy in place to take advantage of both. If you retain us to arrange your pension we will provide you with detailed investment advice.
Like many people you may wish to determine if your pension is going to be sufficient to fund your retirement and if there are any actions you need to take now. The most effective way to assess this is to model your finances using Cashflow Modelling. You can find out more about this here.

Highfield Financial Planning in the Media
The Sunday Times
In the sport of target pistol shooting there is a saying, “slow is smooth, smooth is fast”, which refers to the way to approach drawing and firing a pistol quickly and accurately. The learner shooter who focuses on practising the correct technique slowly, only building in speed later, will win the day nine times out of ten.
The Sunday Independent
A pension is a term that can seem distant to many, especially if you’re at the beginning of your career. But it is a vital part of long-term financial planning, designed to provide you with a source of income in your retirement years. As the pension landscape continues to evolve, understanding the fundamentals and staying informed about the changes is crucial. So, what do you need to know?
The Sunday Times
I have been sitting on about €140,000 in my current account for the past year. It’s what was left over when I sold a property. I keep reading about inflation and how banks are paying no interest and might start paying negative interest, and so on.
The Sunday Times
Would-be investors have a difficult decision to make when considering their options. If they are going to increase their wealth, they will need, at a minimum, to beat inflation and whatever they are paying in charges.

Q I HAVE €150,000 which I want to invest for between 10 and 15 years — with a view to using it to fund my retirement in the future. I’m 50 years old. I am interested in property investment and had considered using the lump sum to buy a property outright.
The Sunday Times
If I asked 10 people on the street how long they thought pensions had existed, what do you think they would say? Since the 1960s, the formation of the state, or Victorian times?
