Sorry, but I don!!!8217;t know where some of these numerals are coming from on my responses?!!!!55357;!!!56833;

They're from a software flaw that afflicts users of ... I'm not sure - iPads perhaps. I use an iMac with the Safari browser; they don't affect me.

Hi Michael , how do I stand with the figures I’ve given? Please can you explain to me in simple terms?

Don't know about nest but last year if you earned less than 3600 last year you should not have contributed more than 3600 total to the pension of which in theory 2880 should have been your payment and the remainder the tax relief.

This year if you earn 4k that should be you maximum contribution of which 3k comes from your post tax income and remainder tax relief.

There is a way of getting rid if the funny numbers for quotes from an iPad, something in settings, not sure if it is iPad settings or on this site.....Try changing message editor interface on this page?

Thank you Michaels. I think that I will explain everything to Nest and see what they can do. Thanks for the link! Let!!!8217;s see if this posting is a bit better!

of which 3k comes from your post tax income

With gross income of £4000 for the tax year 2018-19 she could contribute a maximum of £3,200 into a RAS scheme and receive tax relief of a maximum £800.

Just tell NEST your actual pay for last year and they can refund to you the amount above that or £3,600 after tax relief, whichever is higher. It's routine and the payment to you is called a refund of excess contributions lump sum.
