How Does Pension Tax Relief Work?
Pension tax relief is a tax benefit available on eligible pension contributions. How you receive the relief depends on how your pension scheme is set up.
For instance, with a relief-at-source pension scheme, if you pay £80 into your pension, your pension provider normally claims £20 in basic-rate tax relief, giving you a total pension contribution of £100.
If you pay Income Tax at a higher rate, you may be able to claim additional tax relief, depending on your circumstances.
