you are getting tax relief for the pension contributions.

It's coming off gross pay, meaning that you aren't paying tax on that pay, therefore you are receiving a tax relief

OP removed figures from first post which showed that this was not happening. It would have been better leaving them as it's just causing confusion now.

It appears that it is a personal pension where tax relief is added by the pension provider.
