Tax relief is allowable on the contributions at the investor's highest marginal tax rate subject to current tax legislation. In addition any
investment within the fund grow free of all taxes that is capital gains and income tax. A lump sum of up to 25% of the fund may be taken as tax free cash making it a very tax efficient and effective repayment vehicle.
