It's currently Feb 2025. I've been hit with a big tax bill for my self assessment for the tax year 23/24.

Does anyone know if I can retrospectively pay into my pension for the year 23/24 ? Like some form of back dated payment ?

I'll use this to reduce the amount of income tax I have to pay

    Unless you are Doctor Who then no, you cannot contribute to a pension for a tax year that has already ended.

    Time is running out for 2024-25 as well.
