Addtional Pension contribution to work pension what figure to insert into tax return

[wood1e2]

hi

I have paid an additonal amount into the company pension and I am a on the higher tax rate. So I need to add this to my tax return.

But do I enter

-total of monthly contribs - plus 20% tax
-Additional contribution - plus 20% tax

To get the tax credit/relief as I am a 40% tax payer.

Or do I enter the total of all contributions (my additional and total of monthly contributions) Less 20%?

As far as I am aware you need to include the gross calculations which are the contributions made plus the 20% tax relief

Are the pension deductions included on your employee payslips?

If deducted from your gross pay before tax is calculated you have already received full tax relief on your contributions so no need to show on your Tax Return.

Hi

Sorry for the delay in responding, I should clear things up

The company I work for made an additional 'Employer Contribution' So maybe there is no tax credit to claim, and nothing to fill in on my tax return?

Employer Contribution

the employer claims the tax relief on employer contributions not you!

you didn't pay anything. nothing to go into your tax return

Would I still put in my contribs as I was a 40% tax payer? Or does that get automically inserted into my tax return?
