Personal pension.
Invest £5000
Government adds £1250 (what it previously stole as 20% tax)
Your pension pot now has £6250
That's an immediate gain of 25%
If you are a higher rate tax payer, you get 40% relief. That will be a return of 66%
Your pension can then grow (or fall) based on the funds it is based on. When you are old enough you can take some as cash and the rest as a pension.
Yep and when you eventually end up in a care home they will relieve you of the lot.
