Understanding Tax Relief

With relief at source pensions, you get basic rate tax relief (20%) automatically. If you're a higher or additional rate taxpayer, you can claim additional relief via self-assessment. Net pay pensions deduct contributions before tax, giving you relief at your full marginal rate. Both methods reduce your taxable income and grow tax-free.
