    If it helps I work for the local council
    Then that will be a net pay pension contribution method.  Which is guaranteed to get you the maximum tax relief possible without you needing to anything whatsoever.
  • I transferred some of my wife's allowance to me, I also have currently working from home and a professional allowances 
  • So, I don't need to do anything?
  • Ok, I presume you mean your wife transferred some of her allowance to you  B)

    Normally the recipient of Marriage Allowance has a M suffix tax code i.e. 1420M not 1420L.

    But there's nothing you need to do about the pension tax relief.  You will get it automatically. 

    A week or two after you receive your first pension payment you should get new tax codes, splitting your tax code allowances between the job and new pension.
  • Yes, she to me lol

    You are correct Tax Code: 1420M

    thank you
