Tax relief on my pension statement

Options
Need some help from you guys in the know, I'm not sure if I'm being thick or not.
I have a pension through work for which I pay in 6% of my salary per month and my employer matches this .
Nominal Salary is £62,500 p.a. my contribution p.a. £3,750 and employer same.
So I've just received my pension statement , its clear that what's been paid in over 12 months is simply (312.50 + 312.50) * 12 = £7,500 p.a.


shouldn't I see some tax relief going in there somewhere at some point? from all I've read it seems so but can't be sure - to note I'm on a salary sacrifice scheme . In the back of my mind I'm thinking that possibly the sacrifice scheme is allowing me to pay less tax and NI now on my monthly salalry rather than it go into my pension pot physically.


confused as hell!!
