I psy £120 into aviva private pension.  Can I put the whole £120 through as a tax deduction in my tax return?

Got another one with paye company but they deal with all the tax I guess

  • Unless you are a higher rate taxpayer then it will have no bearing on your tax position.

    Are you also self-employed? If so, it is not a business expense

    Aviva should claim the basic rate tax relief for you and add it to your account.

    If your actual payment is £120 then you should put the gross amount of £150 on your tax return.
