Let’s learn the difference between State Pension and Workplace Pension in the UK 🇬🇧

👉 State Pension
A basic income from the government once you reach state pension age, based on your National Insurance record.

👉 Workplace Pension
A way of saving for your retirement arranged by your employer. Both you and your employer contribute.

Combine both for a more comfortable retirement! 😊

Don't Fall for HMRC Scams: Spot, Stop, and Report‼️

🗣️Report scam HMRC emails, texts, phone calls and letters.

You can report suspicious emails, texts, phone calls and letters to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
How you do this depends on what you received.

If you got:

👉 a text message: forward it to 60599 - you’ll be charged at your network rate
👉 an email-forward it to [email protected]
👉 a message in an application-for example WhatsApp, take a screenshot and email it to [email protected]
👉 a phone call asking for personal information or threatening a lawsuit-report the call online

Learn more here🔗👉 https://www.gov.uk/guidance/identify-hmrc-related-scam-phone-calls-emails-and-text-messages

Use a checklist to decide if a suspicious contact is a scam and not a genuine phone call, text message (SMS) or email.
