Transferring assets into a pension

[Nermal]

Assume we have some shares which if sold would give rise to a CGT liability.

Could those shares be transferred into a PRSA without triggering the CGT liability?

The answer is no.

You would have a CGT liability on selling the shares.

You could use the proceeds to make a pension contribution .
