SA100 pension and savings questions

Options


I am a higher rate tax payer, I am in a private pension scheme and I am filling out the 23  / 24 SA100

There are 2 areas that I am never to sure on, firstly I had a nationwide instant access savings account (Non Isa),  under the interest paid section it gives the same figure  say £1000 for both net and gross interest and tax paid deducted £0 so in the Income section of the SA100 I have 

 Interest and dividends from UK banks and building societies

1.        Taxed UK interest – the net amount after tax has been taken off - read the notes  

2.        Untaxed UK interest – amounts which have not had tax taken off - read the notes

Which one would I put the £1000 savings interest in?


Secondly, On my private pension I notice that they claim back 25% tax relief but I thought I paid a mixture of 20% & 40% tax on my Salary so am unsure why they claim 25%? When it comes to filling in the pension box -

Tax reliefs

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

 Do I enter the net amount + 20% or 25% tax?

TIA

Comments

  • All interest is now paid untaxed. 

    With personal pension plans the provider does indeed claim back 25% of the contribution that you make. 

    If you contribute £800 the provider claims £200 from the tax man making the gross contribution £1000. (£1000 less 20% is £800)

    You enter £1000 on the form.
