    What's the quickest way to discover the total pension paid by DWP for last tax year?
    Note that ,as often comes up on this board, for income tax purposes it's the total pension amount you are entitled to during the tax year, not what you have actually been paid, that HMRC will use, and as far as I'm aware DWP should pass that figure directly across to HMRC
    Yet somehow the pre-populated figure in my tax return is always wrong as it gives the 52 times weekly rate amount instead of the correct figure of 1 week of old and 51 weeks of new that is correctly used for the tax code. 

    The occasional 53 week tax year seems to be totally ignored too. 
    always wise to read the instructions when undertaking a task: 1 old and 51 new weeks

    How to fill in your tax return


    It’s HMRC you need to tell, not me. 

    As I said my tax return always has a pre-populated figure which is 52 times my weekly amount. I always correct it as per the instructions to 1 week of old and 51 weeks of new. So it’s HMRC who aren’t following their own instructions. I am. 
    Although it isn't actually 1+51 for everyone every year.

    The figure used in my tax code is correct so why can’t that figure be pre-populated? It’s all been asked on their Community Forums and even the HMRC Admin give different answers. 
    indeed, and that is why I mostly ignore that forum - far too many instances of HMRC admin contradicting each other.
