Insufficient relief added to SIPP

Hi, I have a SIPP into which my employer pays contributions after tax. For the tax year 2022-2023, I contributed £4400 net of tax to the pension, but only £900 was added (as per my statement) as the government contribution (tax relief?). What does this mean for my tax return? I filled it in as per the instructions according to the details in my statement, but I believe the incorrect contribution may be skewing the figures (since it's only the gross number that I've given, which has a higher proportion of my contributions than assumed)

Hi,

You would need to check that the £4400 is your contributions only, as employer contribtions do not attract further relief.

Thank you.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I can confirm that the contributions to which I refer to were my own contributions only. I enquired with the pension provider and they informed me that the government contributions, while they were added to my pension during the following tax year, the relief was from to my own contributions falling in the 22-23 tax year. I am confused as to whether the grossed-up contributions on the SA return should include the relief (despite my pension provider having applied it late) or whether it should exactly reflect the amount paid into the pension during the tax year in question.
