Pension Query

[rs3100]

If it's a private pension, then for every 80 quid you put into the pension they gross it up by adding the tax back on so what actually goes into your pension pot is in fact a £100.

If you are a 40% tax payer then you can contact HMRC to receive the other 20% relief you are entitled to refunded.

Thanks Hamish. So the pension provider would automatically add the 20% into the pot then.
I'm assuming the other 20% could be accounted for through self assessment.
