Hi there I am a higher rate payer and have submitted self assessments for Tax Years 18/19 through to 21/22. I only recently became aware that I was entitled to higher rate relief on my workplace pension contributions. I was able to claim this relief on my 21/22 self assessment, but am time barred from amending previous returns on the online portal. Please can anyone advise how I am able to claim this relief for tax years 18/19, 19/20 and 20/21? Thanks Rhys

Hi Dafydd,

You are now too late to claim for 2018/19 as this would need to be been claimed by 05/04/23.
For 19/20 and 20/21 you will need to write in with details of the payments made and state that you are claiming overpayment relief. ensure the letter is signed.
This should be sent to
