including pension payments for tax credit

iwill

Hi
Have read many threads on here regarding taking off pension payments from the gross wage, we never realised this was taken into consideration so have never taken pension payments off the figures given to Tax Credit and the amount is around £1500 a year paid to this and is not through the employer so never showed up on the P60.
Is it possible to have any back dated as it makes alot of difference to the payments we would have and will receive.
Thanks for any help or advice

this form will tell you about pension contributions etc ..

the figure you need to give tax credits is your gross pension contributions ( which will include tax relief ) , make sure you have your pension statements ( 2009/2010 - 2010/2011 ) to hand when you contact tax credits ..

my husbands stakeholder pension contributions are paid on his net income ( after tax & NI ) so his p60 does not show his stakeholder pension contributions . but each month a payment is taken from his monthly wage , that payment is taken after he has paid tax & NI , that payment is taken from his net wage .

some pensions are taken from gross wage ( before tax & NI ) is deducted this will show on someone's P60 , those people will pay less tax and NI , there p60 will show this .
