You may still build up a <\/span><b>National Insurance <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">record even if no contributions are due, which helps protect your State Pension entitlement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the 60% tax trap for high earners?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It refers to the effective marginal rate on <\/span><b>income between \u00a3100,000 and \u00a3125,140<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where you lose \u00a31 of your Personal Allowance for every \u00a32 you earn, creating a combined<\/span><b> rate of 60%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Pension contributions are one of the most effective ways to bring your income below \u00a3100,000 and avoid it.
