SIPP AND PERSONAL PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS

If you have contributed to your personal pension or SIPP directly, you would enter the NET contributions in the same place as directed above under Personal/Registered pension schemes expense option. This will gross up your NET contributions and extend your tax bands.


EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS

You are not entitled to any tax relief of pension contributions made by your employer directly into your pension pot.


EMPLOYMENT CONTRIBUTIONS

If your pension contributions have been made by YOU and are deducted before tax is deducted, you receive the tax relief at source.

However, if your pension contributions are deducted after tax and you are a higher rate tax payer, you need to include the entry under SA102 Employment > EXPENSE > Pension Contributions > Personal/Registered pension scheme > Enter the NET contributions you have made.
