It is not a refund.  It is a relief.

1- I’ve just received a large tax refund from over payment on my sole trader work,2- my sipp is all cash, as iam not intending investing it due to hopefully retirement this year.

Neither of those things would impact on the receipt of tax relief.

Yes relief, my terminology incorrect. As I said iam new to this, so I forgive myself if others don’t?

Yes but for the uneducated , simple folk think of xyz, when the answer is abc
And I’ve been reading this mse forum for 12 mths now trying to gain knowledge, (old dog, new tricks). So thanks all for the enlightenment.

Pensions and terminology/jargon are par for the course.

One of the most common mistakes with pensions for those that are DIYing is to think the net amount is the pension contribution when in reality it is the gross amount.   .  i.e. you originally made a £25k pension contribution and got £5k tax relief.    This can lead to them over-contributing and facing tax charges (not an issue here but your thread is being read by many others).  So, if my response sounded a little pedantic, there was a good intention behind it.

No all input is useful and do realise other people like me ( uneducated about pensions) read threads.
Thanks to this forum I have learned that £40k is the most can be added into a pension per tax year. Including employer and ss.and tax relief . Hope that’s right?

Not really.

It's true there's an annual allowance of £40k for most people, and that includes employer contributions and tax relief. But most people can carry forwards unused allowance from previous tax years so could contribute a lot more. But there's also a limit on the amount of tax relief you are entitled to, you can't get tax relief of more than your earnings, so for instance if you earn £20k gross (after any workplace pension conts) you can't put more than £20k gross into a pension.

Just had a update from vanguard who state  that tax relief is applied 6-11 weeks after the deposit.
