Transferring a Private Pension to a SIPP - Tax Relief?

If I transfer a private pension to a SIPP, will I get the government tax relief added?

No. You've already had tax relief, so there won't be anything further added in respect of the transfer.

Do you mean on the transferred money?  If so no, you have already received the tax relief.  The tax relief only applies to new pension cntributions, not transfers.

Thank you for your replies.
Yes, I meant the transferred amount.
Thank you for clarifying.

Wouldn't that be nice if it did happen though, I could make transferring my pensions around my full time job, rather than just a little side hustle...
