I need to complete a self assessment as i have taken on an extra job on a self employed basis. I pay into a private pension who have claimed tax relief on my behalf. My total earnings for both jobs are below the £50,270 threshold do i still need to declare my private pension payments on my self assessment. I have only been paying £150 per month. If i do need to include the payments will this impact my tax code at all? Thank you for your help.

Hi,
If the pension contributions are deducted from you net pay and you are a higher rate taxpayer then you claim the additional releif on your Self Assessment tax return. If not higher rate then nothing to declare.

Thank you so i am not a higher rate taxpayer so therefore i do not need to include my private pension payments on the SA return?

Hi,
If you are not a higher rate taxpayer, then you can still include the details but no additional relief will be due. 
Thank you.
