Tax Due - Next years pension paid this year

in Cutting tax
I have a pension that is due to pay on 6th of the month.
I have been paid the payment due on 6 Apr 2025, a Sunday, today 4th Apr 2025. I am assuming therefore that it will fall within 24/25 PAYE and not next years income.
Or does the limitation of the banking system still reflect that the payment accrues next year?

Unlikely to hit your bank until Monday 7th then. What is the payment date on the payslip/chit that you may have received?1

The rule for payments like this due on a non-banking day but paid earlier is that the employer may if they wish treat the payment as being paid on the normal pay date (ie the Sunday) for tax purposes but for national insurance they must treat the payment as if it was made on the normal pay date (ie the Sunday)
I think it unlikely that the payment will be treated as paid on the Friday as I would assume that there will be many other payments most to pensioners who will have had their full tax allowance for this year and so could pay tax on all of their pension, and the process would probably involve extra work treating tax one way and NI another way.

Already in my current account and since shuffled out to interest gaining accounts.0 -

It might be academic as I will pay the tax either way but it might give me a little more headroom next year to play with.
I suppose I will find out once the P60 comes out.0 -
Did you get a payslip for it? If so does it show the tax period?0

What does your on line tax account show for the payment ? My 2 pensions always show as 13th and 28th irrespective of the date actually paid.1
