If I am not receiving income from employment but receive Miscellaneous income from other sources, does the Miscellaneous income contribute to how much I can pay into a private pension per year?

Hi
Please refer to Tax on your private pension contributions

Sorry, I cannot find the answer to the question about whether Miscellaneous income attracts tax relief when making pension contributions from that link. Are you able to provide a yes or no answer?

Hi r77jam

You can get tax relief on private pension contributions worth up to 100% of your annual earnings.  Earnings refers to money earned from employment, whereas income is total money received, including from earnings, benefits and pensions, and so on. You would have to determine whether your 'miscellaneous income' is earned or not.

Thank you
