Paying into UK pension as a non tax resident

Hutchch0920

Hi Forum,

Just a quick query. I am planning on working in New Zealand for a year from about June 2018 and am keen to continue to contribute into my UK based pension.

I've had a look through the rules and I wanted to check whether I've understood this right.

1) I can continue to contribute
2) I can apply for 20% tax relief on contributions upto £2880

What happens if I contributed more than that in a year?

Thanks
