    Sir we the tax relief for total gross contribution by individual is the lower of
    Gross contribution and
    Maximum annual amount

    My doubt is
    For eg if an employee contributes
    25000 to personal pension contribution
    25000 to occupational pension contribution

    And his relevant earnings are 100000(1 lac)
    Now as per rule we will get tax relief on lower one i.e. 50000(25000+2500)
    What i don’t understand his how will we obtain the tax relief
    Like what we will deduct from the employment income will it be 25000 or 50000?
    And on what amount will we get basic rate tax deducted at source
    25000*20% by hmrc or
    50000*20% ??
    Also if the maximum tax relief amount was to be 3600 how will we apportion it between personal and occupational pension contribution by employee

    If the individual contributes to the occupational pension plan – see page 92 for rules and illustration. Tax relief is given at source – directly from gross wages and therefore full tax relief is obtained.

    If they contribute then to a personal pension scheme – rules page 91.and page 27

    Then sir why we include contribution to occupational pension scheme by employee to calculate the tax relief if we have to give full tax relief
    Like if the gross contribution to occupational pension scheme is 5000
    And the maximum annual amount is 3600
    What will be deducted from employment income
    ??

    You will deduct from the wages the amount contributed.

    But sir shouldn’t it be 3600
    Since that’s the maximum annual amount?

    Firstly, I’m not a sir!
    Secondly, this information is clearly outlined in the manual and you should read it.
