    As you will currently be paying tax on your income the pension should be taxed at BR, 20%. There should be no effect on your employment income, you will just have an extra £123 per week to spend. You will need to ensure that the tax office are aware of the pension and tax you accordingly, don't leave it in the hope they will get it right !!
