Hi all,

I have only recently become aware that my latest workplace pension only applies basic rate tax relief to my pension contributions. As a higher rate tax payer I know now that I can claim relief at the higher rate, and this would apply to my entire contributions, which is not an insignificant sum.

Luckily, having done a bit of research it seems that you are able to make a claim for up to 4 previous years, which covers the entire period I have been contributing to this particular pension.

I've found a pro-forma letter to use to request the relief on these past years, but wondered has anyone else had practical experience in claiming for this relief and if so any tips you might be willing to share?

Thanks in advance all!
Robert
