Tax Relief Eligibility

Hello HMRC Admin, I am a UK resident for tax purposes with a Skilled Worker Visa. My visa does not allow me access to public funds. My employer has automatically added me to a pension operated by Nest. Almost every month, Nest automatically ticks 'yes' for my legibility for UK tax relief which as far as I understand is a 20% top-up on my pension contributions - I only contribute from my salary through PAYE as set by my employer, no sacrifices or any other injections of any kind. To be on the safe side, and to make sure I fully comply with my visa rules, I have been ticking this 'no' [i.e. not eligible] in fear that the tax relief is a form of public funds. But Nest keeps on ticking it back, despite calling them in the past and asking them not to. My main question: Is the HMRC tax relief on my pension contributions from my monthly salary considered 'public funds' for visa purposes? Thank you in advance.

Hi ym92,
It is not listed here:
Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
So is not classed as a public fund for your situation.
Thank you.
