From the notes:Under the ‘relief at source’ system, your pension provider claims basic rate tax relief (of 20%) on your personal contributions and adds that to your pension pot.Put the total amount in box 1 – that is, your personal contributions paid to the scheme, plusthe basic rate tax relief.1

For pension contributions made net of tax, include the grossed up figure. SA100 says:
"Payments to registered pension schemes where basic rate tax relief will be claimed by your pension provider (called ‘relief at source’). Enter the payments and basic rate tax"
